Pros

Big 4 status. Training and access to major clients

Cons

Political. No support for working women. Basically, they will assume that you will be calling in sick for your kid's sake and will purposely exclude you from key engagements. If you are not chargeable for a little while, then there is negative perception and your opportunities to get other engagements are lessened. You need to devote too much of your time in building relationships for advancement otherwise no-one would speak up for you.

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.
