      College Students Beware. Do not waste your time - Advisory Associate KPMG Employee Review

      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

      A lot of smart people to learn from

      Cons

      A lot of people leave. Utilization is also a dumb metric now with how much money they are dumping into their AI. Work is getting done quicker, hence less hours are being charged even when busy. Margins are consistently up despite hours being down so I don't get the need for higher utilzation KPI's anymore. On top of that, managers make you "eat" your chargeable hours to stay within their very small budgets now too, so utilzation does not really reflect anything meaningful anymore. Commercial consultants work 1.5-2x more than federal consultants but federal consultants are usually 100% utilzed because they must use the full budget despite the work not taking as long/as stressful of deadlines.
