Pros

Good exposure to different clients Team activities

Cons

No growth and no support can be easily depicted through High employee turnover. You are looked down upon and even goes in your feedback even though they constantly chant 'No question is stupid'. You would not be given a promotion especially in audit because management is more keen on getting employees from other countries who accept being demoted in order to come to Ireland to work. Toxic work culture in Audit - no growth opportunities, managers and other directors only promote their 'friends'. Directors set unreasonable deadlines and do not appreciate you putting overtime - everything is micromanaged to the point that you feel scared and on edge all the time. Received personal comments over how you sit/ whom you hang out with are passed. No action is taken if you raise to Partners as they side with senior employees.

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.
