I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KPMG (Saint Louis, MO) in Nov 2011
Interview
The original recruiter disappeared for a month, until I received a call from another recruiter notifying me that an offer was extended - 10 days before I was expected to start. Additionally, relocating from 5 states away. As this was in December, the firm was closed, so i could not notify anyone that I might have issues attempting to relocate in such a short period. However, I was assured I would be allowed sufficient time (during busy season). Turned out not to be the case.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Not really any technical questions - it was more or less a discussion about the local baseball team
Had a positive interview experience with KPMG. The process was fully online and easily accessible — no logistical hassles. The interviewer was extremely knowledgeable and made the conversation comfortable and engaging. They were patient, asked thoughtful questions, and the overall tone was more of a discussion than an interrogation. Would recommend being well-prepared on your fundamentals, but the environment is welcoming. Good experience overall.
I applied online. I interviewed at KPMG (Bangalore Rural) in Mar 2026
Interview
It was a two round interview, and as a CA fresher if you are well prepared with what is written in Resume and few fundamentals you can easily crack the interview.
Well structured and organised. Simple, non technical questions that can be prepared for. Interviewers are cordial and professional. There was 3 interviews in total from what I can recall. Originally with the HR team and then in the later rounds more of the business leaders.
