Pros

The St. Louis Team was and awesome set of professionals all new to the firm ( 3 years or less). The office facilities were state of the art

Cons

The overall direction and leadership came from legacy leadership in Montvale NJ that was toxic and hostile. When you are told 60 days into the firm that people threaten to get to fired all the time, It not personal, just get used to it. Something is seriously wrong.

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.
