Pros

Fast interview process and good pay (in theory, more below)

Cons

KPMG has deferred start dates for 2023 grads numerous times and provided 0 transparency throughout the process. I was offered and signed in Fall 2022 with a "Summer/Fall 2023" start date. After signing a lease and moving in to an apartment across the country I was informed in May 2023 that the date had been pushed back to 2024. I hung onto hope and got a new job to fill the gap and pay rent. It is now 2024 and the advisory hires that were supposed to start in January have now been pushed back once again to SEPTEMBER 2024, with less than three weeks' notice.

Pros

Somewhat collaborative environment Wellhub Nothing else comes to mind

Cons

Laid off with no rhyme or reason- not performance based and I was actively staffed on projects. Coincidentally, it happened 2 weeks before my promised maternity leave. They were strategic enough to bring me on and let me go before I could receive a raise, bonus or 401K match. I’ll also add that for being a big 4, KPMG is extremely unorganized internally. You have to bookmark a million links for common sites and go tapping on shoulders for documentation to reference for clients
