I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at KPMG (New York, NY) in May 2018
Interview
2.5 hrs of written examination (mental aptitude, technical for CPAs, Briggs? The shading part)
Initial interview (HR)
Final interview (Manager/Supervisor)
It took 2 days for the HR to contact me after the written exam calling me for an initial interview and I was asked if I'm available the next day if ever for the final interview and then I went home and I was texted that very same day for the final interview on the next day
After that a funny thing happened, I was texted that I am already for job offer 2 days after the final interview so I went there at the scheduled time and date of the supposed to be job offer and signing. But. I was told that the HR wrongfully sent me a job offer text because my file was active. So basically what the HR was saying was that I am not for job offer but my application for employment was really rejected so yeah there it is.
The HR then told me that the HR will be giving me a chance and that the HR will endorse me to another BDU. At first I was thinking of going but I just cancelled my application.
The interviewer began by explaining the team, its responsibilities, the projects they were working on, and the overall team culture. They also briefly described what they were looking for in a candidate and what it would be like to work on the team. Most of the interview focused on behavioral questions rather than technical ones, with follow-up questions to better understand my past experiences and decision-making process.

Question 1
It has been about two years since my interview, so I do not remember the specific questions. But I remember that the behavioral questions felt a bit more serious than in my other interview experiences. My interviewer had a very calm and serious demeanor, which may have contributed to that impression. Based on conversations with others, the experience seems to vary depending on the interviewer you are assigned.
KPMG held a launchpad event involving an assessment centre, followed by an interview with a senior manager or partner. The interviews were held in a large room with many others having their interviews at the same time.
