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!

Hi!

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

Best,

Anto

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
