For people who joined KPMG in the last year from another consulting firm, have you been happy with your choice or have you had buyer’s remorse? Why?

I liked Deloitte more. On average, people are/were simply sharper and more quick to run with things, and it was less hierarchical. But honestly both places are so big and have so many micro-cultures it’s really, really, hard to make a fair comparison.

So much depends on the area/group/industry you’re in, anything you can find out about a specific group where you hang your hat is helpful.

Prefer it over Deloitte. Was originally on the fence about switching but was able to negotiate a big enough raise. The culture is more laid back and supportive rather than competitive. I do think the strategy practice is a notch less “prestigious” but it’s worth it to have the more friendly coworkers.

And for those who are wondering, Lakehouse is nicer/newer but DU has better food and is in a better location.

omg DU's food is so good. The entire service staff & facilities are really top notch.

Not your direct audience, but I joined two years ago from a boutique and love it here. The people are very nice and caring, lots of smart people to bounce ideas off of and work with. Seems like the hours are more reasonable than other big 4s from what I've seen on here
