      Pros

      Work events and free food

      Cons

      Expect to not have a life as long as you work here. Hours are 80+ a week and you have to work weekends too but if you are lucky one of those weekends you may get to work from home. Doing the math and I was lucky if i was being paid $12 hour all together but I was salaried of course. You are EXPECTED to sign away your overtime even though you have a right to it. Expect to be paid very poorly. $50k your first year. $54.5k your second year. 60k your third year. Once you get your CPA you’ll get $70k and the year after that $75k. Don’t expect to ever reach over 100k. Pointless to stay after you get your CPA licensing. Get out while you can if your here.

      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.
