Interview Review
I was recently invited twice by KPMG for seven technical interviews in Albany NY. The employees acted as they were Gods and the people there need to bow them and praise KPMG.
I was told by one of the managers that why should they hire me when they have so many peoplecandidates dying to work for KPMG. It sounded very insulting to me to convince them to hire me like I was begging to work for them.
I was told by one of the Directors that the Partner who interviewed me had no knowledge of what goes on in the firm. This was a little weird to hear that.
I was very confident in replying back all the techinical questions and after excellent interview I was not contacted. I emailed the recruiter and he didn't even bother to get back to me and say No. Such a shameless company who act to be professional and don't even let u know the result.
Points positifsif u have 2-3 years of experience, ready to put in 10-12 hrs a day, in your 20's, looking for less pay and you can be a follower then you're hired
Points négatifsif you have good experience then this place can't afford you.

Meat grinder
KPMG is the worst place I ever worked. They had week one trainings but that was it. I was a first year and sent to do an audit by myself. I had one day in a year of working there where I was sitting next to a senior manager who actually talked to me about the auditing I was doing. You are on your own there and expected to work insane hours - jobs started at 8 and regularly worked until 10:30 or midnight. Leaving was the best decision. One person I started with said it the best - “This job has negatively impacted every relationship in my life”. You can learn more, work less, earn more, be happier and live longer somewhere else.
Points positifsFuture employers think it is better than local/regional firms
Points négatifsNice people are overworked and therefore can’t/won’t have time for you

Difficult to maintain

Enjoyed the technology
They are becoming efficient as work can be done remotely. Tech support is also 24/7. The managers and staff are very supportive. The hardest part is my travel to Albany from New York City.
