I applied through college or university. I interviewed at KPMG (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Two 30-min in-person interviews. The questions were pretty predictable as they were standard behavioral questions like 'Tell me about yourself.' I had great interviewers who were genuinely interested to learn about me, making me feel connected to them.
Tuve dos entrevistas una con RRHH y otra por un director del área al que estaba aplicando. Las entrevistas son sencillas, sobre el área al que estás aplicando y sobre lo que buscas.
