Cons – Their MC practice just doesn't attract A-level talent both at experienced hire level (all levels) or entry level... senior managers who have been jumping ships, managers with no consulting experience, partners who are not selling, etc. What that means is that if you are in MC for experience and learning, KPMG is not going to be able to provide you that. Do yourself a favor and look for MC placement with Booz and Co., ATK, Accenture, etc.

It is also pretty evident from the fact that they mainly end up doing low level (e.g., inventory assessment, spend analysis, etc.) assessment work and little strategy and/or real design and implementation work.

KPMG MC's financial management practice is somewhat better than their Business Effectiveness practice in terms of higher impact projects, quality of work, quality of talent, etc.

Advice to Senior Management – Pay big bucks to real MC partners to come help build the practice and help bring on real MC talent.

Pros – The best reasons to work at KPMG is because of the people and the learning environment. The people are intelligent, friendly, professional, and always work as a support system to better one another.

Cons – One of the cons of working at KPMG are the hours, although anyone in this profession should be prepared to work many hours during busy season in order to better service the clients. And the main pro I mentioned above, the people, make the hours go by much faster.

Advice to Senior Management – I do not have any advice for leadership at this time, the leadership of KPMG has continually performed for the best of the company and its employees.
