I had 2 interviews. 1st with HR and 2nd with Senior.
The 1st was more about me, what I have been doing and others HR tipical questions.
The 2nd was more about technical stuff.
I applied online. I interviewed at KPMG (Bergen) in May 2025
Interview
Difficult and unprofessional. They wanted to know my salary expectations pushing me to tell a number. I was not comfortable telling them how much I earn now. But they pushed so hard for it making me nervous

Question 1
Interviewer over 50 telling me they usually hire in 30s. Im 40s. Also they asked questions unrelated to the title of the position
The interview was brief and to the point, with direct questions about experience and skills. The candidate responded confidently and concisely, leaving a positive impression. However, they could have elaborated a bit more on relevant experience and connected it better to the job requirements

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at KPMG (Ottawa, ON) in Oct 2024
Interview
Very straight forward, HR and branch manager just watch you, one thing to complain about is that the HR or whoever that was had a very smug face, and was being passive aggressive asking questions and just noding her head as a way to show that shes not happy.
