Used to work at EY and now at KPMG. Can’t speak to the HC practice from my own experience, but the group seems a lot more collegial than those in EY that I encountered. The firm is more collegial in general, in my opinion. But I. Any speak to the relative strength of the players. I will say it’s a very hot area for us.

HC at KPMG is changing it’s structure (again) from what I have been told. They are not strong at cross-selling and collaboration. It seems to be they are trying to combine all sectors to improve the collaboration. However the individualized groups are still working in silos.

Salary POV: I recently accepted a position at Oracle Consulting USA (Cloud ERP practice) in their delivery organization as a Director Cloud ERP.
