Pros

25 vacation days immediately from the start. People in general have an outgoing and fun personality. Firm has definitely a global presence, but its always fun to claim to work for a radio station.

Cons

Although the 25 days are given, your utilization is the main metric, thereby indirectly discouraging the use of PTO. Communication is poor, might be a regional office thing. Most accurate information seems to be rumors at times. Leadership direction is unknown.

Pros

You get to work with an awesome, highly resilient group of local peers in the advisory practice. The KPMG brand still holds value, but the internal team dynamics have become incredibly fractured.

Cons

We have outsourced 80%+ of our Risk Advisory work, leaving onshore seniors with massive gaps in their experience. As a manager, I am stuck doing senior-level work because I typically have only one or zero local seniors or associates on my teams. The best leaders have already resigned because this model prevents actual management and mentoring. Also, it might take you 30+ years to become partner in Risk Advisory, if at all.
