For those of you who have worked at both KPMG and EY consulting/advisory how do benefits compare? Specifically: cell phone allowance, allowance for meals while traveling, and alternative travel policy

Also, KPMG allows (taxed) reimbursement for spousal travel if you stay the weekend at most projects.

Never got that at EY.

Yes you can do alternate travel. Just need approval from partner on the project.

Most commercial projects at KPMG lets you expense per diems at GSA rates for meals, including lunch.

$60 cell phone at EY vs $45/65 at KPMG. $15 breakfast $50 dinner at EY vs about 50 per GSA rate at KPMG. I’d give the slight edge to EY in those two areas. Any major differences in other perks? Is there a frequent traveler program at KPMG like at EY?

GSA rates for per diem is more like $65 average for any large urban areas, or $74 for NYC/SFO. And you get to keep money you don’t use. And you can use personal credit cards to pay for meals and earn points. It’s honestly one of the better perks in terms of monetary values. But as others have said, not enough reason to join K just for this alone.

I got the impression this was a small but fast growing team on the west coast, and the work sounds like a combination of product, agile delivery, and roadmap dev.

Is it truly a hot/growing market like my interviewers have portrayed it as?

Does anyone have knowledge of the financial crimes practice in KPMG? I am interviewing for a position to move there from a current forensics position.

Online info is not that descriptive. Also, is the 80-100 percent travel really true or is a bit less?
