I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at KPMG (Houston, TX) in Nov 2010
Interview
Had a dinner event, was given an opportunity to meet the people from the team . Day 1 was interviewed - was provided few situations and asked behavioral questions, explain what you have written on your resume.
Given a Kpmg related case- very simple but think out aloud and explain the question as you understand it and provide an answer.
Was emailed after few days with a acceptance and a look inside program invite- basically an invite for 2nd round.
The night before the interview, was given a chance to meet more members of the team. Day 2 was interview day , same behavioral plus resume questions only it was 5 rounds with the partners, directors interviewing you but mostly giving you an opportunity to ask them any questions you can. Heard back in a week from the HR with the offer.
Advisory Internship interview. Two behavioral 30-minute interviews with a manager and an MD. received the offer over the phone after around 2 weeks. accepted the full time offer post internship.
2 rounds of behavioral interviews; come prepared to speak about yourself, answer scenario-based questions, and ask thoughtful questions of your interviewers.
They will ask questions specific to the Advisory practice you applied to, so come prepared with relevant accomplishments and solutions you've implemented in that domain previously.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at KPMG (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
It was fluid! The interviewer didn’t ask me anything out of the ordinary. It was primarily a fit check rather than technical. I’ve heard it varies, i may have just gotten a chill recruiter.
