I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Hamilton, Waikato) in Jun 2023
Interview
First, have to do a video introduction to show your passion, why you want to join KPMG, and another BQ question.
Second, you are timed to answer around 20 questions in about 30 minutes. Most of them are logics and math or find some pattern.
Third, you have to do a project, which combines frontend and backend code. Nodejs used and React. Very simple, but failed in this process. Have no idea what they are looking for, but I am sure to do some test cases.
The interview process is a structured series of interactions between a potential employer and a job candidate, designed to assess the candidate's qualifications, skills, and suitability for a specific role.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1

They asked me very specific .NET questions that could be googled on the job. Then they asked me a leetcode easy, not in a coderpad but asked me to write the code on my own machine. They wanted me to do it in C# but I don't have a .NET compiler available on the fly, so I did it in Python
I had two technical interviews. First one was okay. Second one was difficult. I finally had a meeting with my manager followed by an HR meeting. Overall, decent experience. would recommend.
