Pros

*Advertised* decent salary for advisory new hires in offer letters

Cons

Absolutely no regard for new hire livelihoods — after offer letter signed Fall 2022, 20 DAYS before advisory start dates in January 2024 (already 1 push back), people were informed that start dates were pushed AGAIN to July/September 2024. This is the 2-3 pushback for most. There was absolutely NO communication that this would happen — got a sudden call on Jan 5 after orientation was scheduled, flights booked for training, I-9 processed, etc. Everyone I know affected already had financial commitments made (naturally given that we are 3 weeks out..) such as apartment leases signed, roommates found, old jobs quit, flight tickets bought…just for KPMG to leave its new hires out to dry. This is completely disgusting and a real reflection of what leadership thinks of its people. Avoid this company for your own sake!

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.
