Pros

Big four experience. If you are lucky you get to work with many different companies. Great experience in different industries.

Cons

Very clickish culture. Only recruite african americans to increase their minority share (saw this in an email) Don't believe a word they say. Watch your back as they will lie to your face and behind your back. Expect to work late hours.

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.
