Pros

Great work-life balance, pretty good benefits, pretty good clients, decent opportunities for training

Cons

Depending on the market, promotional opportunities above manager are very difficult for racial and ethnic minorities. Decent place to start a career but not to build one. Senior leadership talks the talk for inclusion but makes no effort to insure lower levels provide equitable opportunities for all staff on prime assignments.

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.
