This is a partnership, so management only cares about their OWN bottom line instead of employees happiness. - Advisory Manager KPMG Employee Review

Pros

None at all... what's there?

Cons

Long hours, politics, backstabbing. This is a partnership, so management only cares about their OWN bottom line. During busy season, you are REQUIRED to work 50 hours a week. But if there is only 1 project with 40 CHARGEABLE hours, what do you do? Take another project that will take NOT 10 hours / week extra but another 4 hrs / day minimum.

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.
