Pros

Competitive salary for short term gains.

Cons

Unqualified managers with little to no technical experience. Lots of fluffy words are thrown around with no meaning. No and I mean absolutely no belief or value associated to building culture. Politics are worse than at the capital. Emails are used as daggers and your colleagues are dog eat dog where competition to scale the ladder is fierce and less experienced managers will take the bait to promote those who are skilled at throwing others under the bus.

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.
