Pros

The company does have very decent benefits. They also give some modest but nice gifts - e.g., a welcome gift for new hires and an annual summer gift of food (Omaha Steaks meat or ice cream bars). They also shut down for about 10 days at the end of the year, which is great!

Cons

VERY white male. Very poor treatment and promotion of women. Not welcoming of minorities. No innovation whatsoever. No true desire or ability to move away from risk in favor of strategy or management consulting.

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.
