Pros

The main reason to work for that company is enhancing your resume. it looks good to future employers and you can find a far better job after working there for 2 years and obtaining your credentials. One learns a lot, overtime is sometimes better paid compared to other big four.

Cons

This is the most back stabbing environment I ever experienced. When you start as a new associate, you are treated with zero respect, swamped with menial tasks. Working hours are very long, work at the weekend is expected during busy season, so one does not have any time for hobbies or recreational activities.

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.
