Pros

can hardly think of any other than it shares the KPMG brand

Cons

Extremely detached senior leadership especially the business unit heads Business unit heads generally have low level of understanding of the type of work done by various teams. Denial by the leadership that KGS is a BPO/KPO, when in reality work done by large number of people is backend in nature. Even in teams like due diligence, forensics, accounting advisory often quality of work is fairly basic high levels of favoritism excessive dependence on expats to drive business which has resulted in lack of stable leadership. key people seem to change every 2-3 years.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
