Hi all,
has anybody had a case Interview in KPMG (Strategy, M&A) or is maybe having sample cases?
- case type (candidate, Interviewer)?
- case complexity?
Many thanks

Hi Jelena,
KPMG generally has candidate-led cases.
In terms of case complexity, you should always assume the worst/hardest. Please prepare yourself for a wide range of scenarios here!
Read up on the following Q&As for more info:

Hi!
KPMG is usually candidate-led. My recommendation is to prepare as if you were interviewing for MBB :)
Best,

Hi there,
This is indeed an interesting question which is probably relevant for quite a lot of users, so I'm happy to give you my perspective on that:
- I agree with what other coaches said that KPMG case studies are generally candidate-led.
- Based on the feedback of coachees of mine, case complexity tends to vary depending on the specific case study and your knowledge with technical topics inside. Thus, I would advise you to prepare equally thorough as with other consulting companies. Please also refer to the other threads shared below.
In case you want a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for the upcoming interviews with KPMG Corporate Strategy and M&A, please feel free to contact me directly.
I hope this helps,
Hagen
