KPMG China = False Advertising
Pros: Fabulous co-workers who for the most part are polite, professional, and intelligent.  Depending on what field you are in, the company brand is well perceived. If you are in IT or technology stay away.  The work itself is fairly easy but tedious and futile. Most people in Advisory just make PowerPoint slides or fetch coffee for Partners and Directors.
Cons: Very disorganized, low pay, and long hours. The Directors there are for the most part incompetent.  The mandatory training is unstructured and continuous.  They will also move most of the current employees to a new building in Wong Chuk Hang on the South Horizons line. So don't expect to work in the Prince's or Hysan Place buildings for long.

One Director who joined after I did said to me, "I think I made a big mistake joining KPMG." I laughed and said, "That's the same thing I told my wife." 50% of new joiners leave within a year. Not because it's difficult but because you are assigned work that has nothing to do with your area of expertise or what was described in the advertised job description.
