KPMG is going through an identity crisis in certain business areas. I'd recommend to steer clear unless the role is rather convincing

If you are a resource you would not be saying that. All the resources know how messed up things are in SAP and some other practices.

I left Deloitte (S&O) as a manager for KPMG about 5 years back. My thoughts are as follows:

KPMG cons:
1. D’s training is significantly better than KPMG’s. This may change with the lake house.
2. As a result of 1 people execute more efficiently on projects.
3. On average the quality of coworkers is higher at D.
4. Benefits aren’t quite as good at kpmg
5. Within strategy the clients aren’t as good at kpmg. That isn’t necessarily a con as it makes it really easy to add value.

KPMG pros:
1. Culture is better and more fun imo. Everything was taken too seriously at Deloitte.
2. Better work life balance at KPMG. I left Deloitte due to incredibly poor wlb. I can’t say where I worked within D without outing myself but it was a very high pressure group.
3. I’ve actually enjoyed the work more at K. It’s a bit like a startup given that it isn’t as organized and I’ve found it easy to do my own thing.

I’ve spent more years at KPMG than Deloitte for what it’s worth and have been less stressed out. No difference in compensation between the two for me but I’ve been a high performer at both. I was 1 rated every year at Deloitte when they still did that and the same at KPMG. That said comp is probably a bit lower on average at kpmg if you aren’t consistently in the top bucket.

What’s the travel policy at KPMG? Currently interviewing for a role which might require international travel post pandemic. Is it business class? What about expense limit for both local and international?

What division/role would you be looking at? Some of our lines of business are good, some are a tire fire of culture

You got to be kidding. Everyone here wants to come to Deloitte and you want to come here.
At Deloitte they appreciate you working for endless hours no matter what.
In KPMG they just look for that 1 or 2 things you did not do to give you 0 to minimal raise and bonus.

Workday, Oracle, Service Now, M&A and Strategy, Audit, Tax, Financial Management are one of the best of the best in the Industry.
Overall Technology enablement is in very poor condition and state. It’s not going to improve for next 5 years until leadership is kicked out.
If I mention few thing you will get an idea how bad the things are.

Umm no... Parthenon, Deloitte, and Strategy& are all stronger.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…
