KPMG Just wrapped a back to back interview session for a Director role. Both felt great but very “check the box.” Is this for pipeline warmth or am I just a great fit?

KPMG's interview process is generally perceived as highly structured and focused on predefined criteria. Very much check the box.

I’ve been interviewing for a position and it’s literally just been unrelated conversations 😂 the least interview-feeling type of interviews I’ve had in a while

OP the metrics keep getting harder and harder to meet and they keep layering more and more on. Not sure how it works as a new hire but as a promotion, you have to sign a contract before knowing your comp. And there’s an 8 week notice period. You do you, obviously, but ask some of these questions if you haven’t already

At KPMG, was going to go up for M last year but it would have been a tad early (only 2.5 years at senior) so I decided to push it back to this year. This year, after talking about my business case since last summer, I was now just told I won’t even be given the opportunity to go up for M at all, with very weak reasoning. I pour a lot of time and effort into my job and this felt like a true sand banging. Has this happened to anyone else? Is it firm being cheap w/ the current economy? TIA.
