KPMG Interview Questions & Reviews in Sacramento, CA Area

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Sacramento, CA (took 4+ weeks)

"KPMG Pulled a Bait n Switch"

I was contacted by the recruiter who found my resume online. After the preliminary interview over the phone, i was recommended to interview with a Senior Manager over the phone. The timeline between first contact with the recruiter and the phone interview with Sr. Manager is about 15 days.

Following the phone interview i was asked to come in for a face to face interview with 2 Sr. Managers and 2 Partners at the local office. The interviews were scheduled for half an hour each.

After the interviews, the following day the recruiter called me to say right now they would like to keep the door open for me, as the projects they are bidding on might not start for the next couple of months, BUT,"In the meantime if i would like to Join them at an Associate level position with a salary cap of 60K".

Just a background, the recruiter already discussed the salary for the Sr. Associate level position at 100K+, i have over 6 years of experience and i hold two graduate degrees.

This BAIT N SWITCH displays the lacks of integrity and morals in my opinion, and not only that, an attempt to be disrespectful to the interviewing candidates.

KPMG expects people to work 50-60 hours a weeks, they will bill their clients anywhere between $80-$120/hr and are offering less than $25/hr is shear disgust.
