| KPMG, a top fifty ideal employer and a member of the big four, says it wants to help new employees build both careers and wealth. The firm has recently increased its 401(k) benefit matching 75 cents on every dollar for up to 5% of all employee contributions, a work-life advantage it hopes/ will help attract and retain new employees. KPMG is the smallest of the big four accounting firms, but like its competitors it serves its Fortune 500 clients with tax, audit and advisory services. Headquartered in the Netherlands, KPMG has roughly 100,000 employees worldwide, 20,000 of those are in the US. And it’s Manny Fernandez's job to get the KPMG name out to schools. We are one of the top ten employers at business schools nationally. We hire approximately 3，000 students off college campuses every year, so that, that alone gets us a big name recognition to start out with. When you start with one particular office, there's opportunities, in different industries, there's opportunities, um, to go international do assignments, short-term / 3 months to 18 months and later on three-year/ assignments internationally, the opportunities are endless for our folks. Fernandez says he and his staff like to see a 3.6 GPA (GPA英语全称是grade point average，意思就是平均分)and involvement in extra-curricular activities, because KPMG wants smart and active employees. Like Moira Turner, a financial service associate who started as an intern. In financial services practice/, we have 4 practices within there, it's real estate, banking, funds, and pensions. So, what they want you to do is idle your first year to go through three-month vocations in each of those 4 practices. And then at the end you speak with your performance manager or a confidant that you have. And you pick out, prefer, like the practice you think you match well with and then hopefully a manager that you work with there says the same, and then you can specialize in that with your career going forward. But, it’s KPMG collegial culture that Turner enjoys. I've lived in New York my entire life, and I moved back here. I knew that I have all my friends and I really thought when I started working it would just be the place I worked. But I came here and I have made so many incredible friends that when it comes the time/ to go out on the weekend I find myself calling people I work/ with not the people I grew up with, which causes some problems with them but it's really wonderful that I made like a hundred friends, you know, when I started, I thinks that's really special. Roughly 75% of KPMG entry-level jobs are filled by interns; and the best way to get into that pipeline is through your college's career services office. A KPMG Rep will likely come to your school for a first round interview, then if you make it through that, you may very well fly out to New York for what they call/, an inside look, a series of interviews with managers, partners, and other associates.
