I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG in Oct 2021
Interview
Very straightforward process, 2 back to back interviews with directors; they were both super nice and easy to talk to - heard back 2 weeks after my interview with a phone offer followed by an email
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Tell me a little about yourself?
- A time when you had to deal with an unforeseen circumstance?
- How have you demonstrated leadership?
- How have you dealt with conflict in a team?
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.
