Pros

Working with knowledgeable colleagues on complex client issues.

Cons

Be aware that your Performance Management Leader (PML) may not be entirely looking out for your best interest. Their focus is on billable hours and if they are not being met they have a target on their back and thus yours too. Will not assist in relocation within the firm.

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.
