from just a quick chat it's just time to get to know everyone thats starting new at the company and few activities all fun looking i got shown a video about it, looks good!
yer jordans right it's all about the experience, and also think about what current cadets or previous cadets have said think about the amount of free events, alcohol and other discounts or freebies.
smart casual i'd say jeans and a shirt or dress pants and a casual shirt. PwC will obviously have some formal lunch event, it's what EY and Deloitte do, thats what i love about KPMG they just chilled out and played wii ordered pizza, too easy, it was easier to get to know everyone.
at the celebratory thing they just chill with you it's so try to get to know people, get to talk to first year cadets. mine at KPMG was wii for a couple of hours and then ordered pizza, very relaxed environment.
MS and PKF the two i applied for. I don't think there's too many other good ones in Melbourne maybe ferrier but i didn't have time to fill their app out.
i've signed with KPMG a friend of mine is yet to sign and also has EY deloitte and KPMG on the table, I don't know anything about the mid tiers as i cancelled all my mid tier interviews.
