Pros

-25 days of PTO. Difficult to think of other pros

Cons

-sink or swim culture - if you can get to a point where you are swimming on your own, great. If you can't, they're not going to train you or develop you to help you get there. -for positions above staff level, there is a strong mentality of "I've already done the grunt work, that's your turn now". There is no teamwork. They won't help you when you clearly need it, and they aren't afraid to point the finger solely at you when something goes wrong. -bonuses are a joke, and it'd probably be better off just not even giving them out. It's that insulting for the hours you put in. -the hardworkers don't get rewarded. Someone can be very efficient and do a ton of work in a 50 hour week. However, the more work they do, the more work they will get. Meanwhile, a lot of people are just mailing it in and completing the bare minimum while still billing the same amount of hours. At the end of the day, management only looks at the number of hours. -training and mentorship is nonexistent for most, so there is a constant revolving door of staff. Partners don't care because they're not the ones who have to spend time training new staff.

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.
