Go your own way but with sponsors
Pros: There's a lot of room to do the job as you best see fit. Also to develop yourself in the organisation, including to climb the ladder, it is necessary to establish an own personal network. Finally, you can manage client relations in your own way. Thus individual initiative is rewarded, even necessary, to work at KPMG.
Cons: There is a lack of internal processes and systems to support the work. And one has to cultivate sponsors in the senior management in order to get ahead, or even survive. This is the downside to the individual leeway noted in the pros.
