Pros

Restaurants are great, HQ is overall a cool place to work. Canary Wharf is a lovely place so it's not too bad from that perspective.

Cons

I worked in a small service line dedicated to digital transformation within the FS sector. The leadership team is terrible. Lots of backstabbing going around and very incompetent people when it comes to winning any actual new business. Their proposals seem like something out of a 1990's bad sales playbook, making it nearly impossible to win RFPs. I wish I never moved from industry to this particular service line, as the onboarding was lousy, particularly given the complete lack of support given to those who have worked in consulting before. Based on my experience, I do not recommend AT ALL for anyone to join them.

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.
