      Pros

      If you like to work both in teams and independently it has its upsides. For the most part, the people in Advisory were congenial enough and the firm invested in professional development considerably, which I really liked.

      Cons

      When you join a Big 4 Firm ...be ready to work harder than you have ever worked in your life. It's like the hunger games. "May the odds be forever in your favor!" A lot of narcissists and other people on the spectrum end up at Consultancies. So just be aware that while some people are really nice, others are vipers. Also know that if you are a person of color, getting promoted will take 2-3x the length of your white colleagues, especially when they are of the Anglo-Germanic persuasion.

      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.
