Pros

On the plus side, its core advantages lie in strong professional endorsement and growth value. As one of the world’s Big Four professional services firms, KPMG has high industry recognition, especially excelling in risk management, financial restructuring and other businesses in the financial sector. It offers employees opportunities to work on projects for large enterprises and multinational companies, enabling rapid accumulation of practical experience across multiple industries. Meanwhile, the company has a sound training system and clear promotion paths, allowing systematic improvement in both professional skills and project management capabilities. The team atmosphere is straightforward, with greater emphasis on employees’ practical abilities rather than academic backgrounds, making it friendly for new hires’ growth.

Cons

The drawbacks mainly focus on work intensity and experience. The nature of the industry leads to common overtime work, with weekend overtime becoming the norm. Long-term high-pressure work can squeeze personal life and even affect physical health. Influenced by performance fluctuations, the team atmosphere may be under pressure, as management tends to pass performance pressure down to subordinates, and there is a certain degree of PUA. Additionally, humanized benefits are relatively insufficient, staff turnover is high, and long-term development requires bearing high physical and mental costs.

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.
