Pros

If you are looking to start working at a big-4 firm KPMG is great if you are a self-starter, pro-active towards senior management in shaping your role and willing -as you should with any consultancy to work long hours. You will need to develop your internal network quickly and, if you do you can have a great time here.

Cons

KPMG's consultancy practice is being rebuilt -after KPMG sold its consulting practice to Atos- and it seems sometimes management is re-inventing the wheel. the partnership model inhibits global integration and career opportunities making the company very country focused. You have to create opportunities, the company won't do it for you...

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.
