Pros

The only reason I would work for KPMG is to get my CA designation.

Cons

Although the recruitment team preaches work life balance, this is far from the truth. Especially during busy season. The team you are placed on either makes or breaks it for you. When you are all cramped in a stuffy office for 15 hours a day for 2 months it helps to have a good team haha. Also overtime hours are not paid out to you. But there has been new legislation regarding the eligibily of employees to be paid overtime. Hopefully this will help in some respects.

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.
