@kpmg1 yes pwc is so much worse than kpmg. I've been at both and while I totally think it depends on the specific office my experience has been horrible with pwc. I think there are good and bad offices in each of these firms, but overall I like the set up of the kpmg partnership model better than the pwc one. It breeds a competitive, cut throat culture, and I never once saw that at kpmg. I obviously also don't know this for a fact but I felt that kpmg spent a larger percentage of their profits on their people and spread the wealth a bit more.

Yeah "culture" depends on the office, and the group within the office (if you're in a big office). I saw some great cultures at KPMG and some shit cultures. EY seems pretty great so far, but I haven't been here that long.

But the two times I interviewed with Deloitte? Yeah I would think Deloitte would have "worst Big 4 culture" in the bag!

Only worked at EY and PWC, but in between was a client of all the big 4. After seeing it from the client side, only considered EY when I returned to B4. Definitely the best culture in general. Don't get caught up in "branding" phrases like vision 2020 or Building a better working world - those are created by PR and not us accountants. The culture is what we make it on a daily basis. You can choose to be part of the problem or part of the solution. If it is a choice between laughing and crying, choose laughing!

Haven't worked Big 4 for a long time but I would conjecture that (best to worst) it would be EY, KPMG,PWC and then Deloitte.

I think we're all thinking overall/generally, not even office specific ^

Turley was the man.
