Pros

Looks great on the CV and the experience you glean from one of the big 4 is just incomparable.

Cons

Long hours, no support, no training, hot desking. Too much focus on "utilisation rates" to even say hello first thing in the morning. Ridiculous bonus - record profits for 2014 but only 2k for D grades? Hmm.

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.
