      Pros

      Best way to learn about the worst possible firm among big 4 in Switzerland.

      Cons

      HR has no experience and cannot resolve issues, bad pays and no system of bonuses, its all based on relationships, people have zero experience even at the highest level and if your ambitious they will make sure to try to cut you off. I have worked in 2 other big 4s both deloitte and PWC and KPMG is the worst of the worst. Save your time and go to any other firm that will give you better experience, better brand and better money. They have open job vacancies for years and no body would join because its well known for a crappy reputation. If you really like KPMG go to KPMG germany or UK. Swiss KPMG has no projects on the advisory side. I speak from experience.

      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.
