Why do Banks ask if I worked at KPMG?

Hello guys,

maybe this is a dumb question but I thought about asking it all the time ... I´m just too curious not to ask. I´m currently applying to several firms in the financial sector and there are really a lot of banks who ask if I worked (they name it solely) at KPMG? Why is that?

Of course I understand that they are interested if you worked already but why don´t they just give you a drag down with several finance or consulting firms, instead they focus solely on KPMG.

Thanks for youre answers
