Pros

Good colleagues here and there

Cons

Toxic culture, a bunch of unhappy, insecure women, if you look attractive or are intelligent — you’ll be seen as a threat and treated unfairly. Not worth it. Life is too short. Boring work. Deeply insecure and miserable management (including senior leaders, especially those who give lots of talks about supporting other women). Catty and conniving environment.

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.
