I have an interview at KPMG as tax part time. How is the company culture? Are they strict with budget hours? For tax do they put you in a section where you just do one type of tax return such as 1040 or do they do everything in a team? KPMG

Budget hours were more of a guideline than an electrical fence when I started. After a couple months, people either didn't give me a budget, or didn't care. But if they give you one, pay attention to it.

You usually start working on just one type of return. They're not going to have you work on a complex consolidated return one week, expat returns for a few days, then passthroughs for two weeks. It doesn't make sense. Ask at the interview what you'll be doing. I'm guessing you're relatively new to tax, so you'll be preparing returns. A senior or manager will likely do a first review, and send it back for you to make changes. Once they're satisfied, someone higher up may do a top level review. Again, something to ask about. It'll vary by complexity.

KPMG cultures varies a LOT by whoever the leader of the group is. I've seen groups that were happy as clams, while the team next to them looked like they were considering a suicide pact. Also something you'll have to ask about, but don't ask about company culture, so much as the team's culture, and the management style of the head person. If they say work hard, play hard, you should run.

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that?

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time. But even small things that increase the work can wildly throw off the schedule and cause hours to skyrocket for the staff on the job. No real point here, just ranting.
