Chaotic, passive aggressive, hypocritical, not very smart, underinvested in technology. But it’s not as overtly toxic as Deloitte.

You will be staffed as a warm body to whatever work was sold, regardless of your skillset. No one above you will have time to train you.

The only benefit to joining is that when you switch to industry, no one outside of consulting realizes KPMG is in last place within the Big 4.

Ok agree with pg 1 but not 2 and 3. I try to only staff people who want to work on my projects and are passionate about the subject. Now resources are soooo scare right now we are forced to pull people on. However I always take time to train my team members. If ur not seeing this I’m sorry. But not every team is like this.

Oxymoron

Sorry I was joking. Not sure what its like

How long did it take you to get the written offer? Got a verbal offer but waiting for hr to follow up

Don’t have the written offer yet

Why is KPMG the last?

Based on revenue

Honestly depends a lot on the practice you are aligned to. Get to know people in the interview process or through networking to get a good idea who you may be working with. Have been here for 5+ years, and do enjoy the work I do and the teams I work in.

How much do people get paid in advisory and strategy associates? I don’t have the offer letter yet

Everything depends on what office, group and job you’re in.

I personally like the culture at KPMG — I work in tax in the Southeast. My managers have always been understanding, flexible, and most have a good sense of humor. Yeah of course there’s still the whole Big 4 accounting culture but that will be with every big 4. Find people you don’t mind working with everyday.

Hi Fishes,
I have been working with Walmart for the past 14 months and have recently got an offer from Blackrock for 45 LPA.
Considering the recession and US market scenario, help me understand if it will be a good move to join BlackRock OR should I continue with Walmart with the current compensation.

PS. I am not happy with growth prospects in the current project in Walmart.
