Rising Star
You’ll be a star player if you’re mediocre and love technology that barely works.

Best culture of the big 4 by far (and I’ve been at 3 of the 4). depending on where you will land there is a surprising amount of ex-MBB folks at KPMG, and probably any of the big 4.
Most of them wanted to stay in consulting but didn’t like the burn at MBB and it’s impacts on family life. A few others were provided an opportunity to run a larger part of the consulting business.
That said your peers will not be the same caliber. You’ll find some that a few are and but most are not. In talking with an ex-Booz partner his view was that the top 10-20% are as good but then it goes down hill. Part of the challenge will be identifying and building a team from the top performers.
Happy to chat if you need more color. Feel free to ping me. FWIW I’m not at KPMG anymore so no big bias from me.

Just saw the internal bit. Throw this out the window. No clue on that. I generally have a low opinion of our (any big 4) internal technology teams.
You’re at Bain and you want to go to B4?
Hey man I’m at KPMG I’m just wondering why
It’s a hard question to answer because it varies depending on practice and team. Since you said it’s internal facing, I’m sure the culture and expectations will be quite different. I personally hate the culture here though.
I might just be in a toxic group but people that i’ve work with here are very condescending, elitist, tend not to collaborate well, look out for themselves, aren’t willing to help when you need assistance, have no empathy, try to bully you, resort to group think, etc.
I like it here a lot. People are pretty low key and chill which is a huge blessing in this line of work. They’re also helpful and I feel like leaders are very accessible. I also have a lot of autonomy, and feel good about growth prospects both for my sector and how that “trickles down” to opportunities for me (Strategy group). Good luck with the decision!
Thanks! Great perspective, I will go ahead and apply.
I work on an internal team. Client facing is not for me. It would be an internal team at KPMG as well. I previously worked for EY so I know all about b4. Which is why I want to know how the culture is.
Culture also depends by office and practice so will depend on who you ask
The culture is any day better than BCN.
