I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Charlotte, NC) in Oct 2016
Interview
The Interview process was very well organized and professional. After applying I was invited to a dinner on my college campus where I was able meet recruiters and associates in a social environment. A few days later I had a 30 minute phone interview with a Manager and was then asked to Interview at their regional office. All KPMG employees I met through out the process were genuine and respectful.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe an experience you have had where you were working with a team under pressure?
Interview was more conversational, fit-check type of interview, no technical questions about accounting or auditing. Mostly me asking them questions about KPMG and their careers than any school or accounting related questions.
Two back to back interviews with a manager and a partner or managing director consisting of behavioral questions. Interviewed were both very kind and personable, and interview felt like a way to gauge company fit
The interview process was very easy and went smoothly. You get a traditional one hour time slot and interview with two different people, one working in audit and the other working in tax.
