I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at KPMG (Madrid) in Sep 2013
Interview
First I was invited to do three exams in their offices:
- Accounting test: 30 questions. No calculations, just general audit knowledge.
- English test: really easy.
- Practical case: a consulting case, not related to the job. Twelve potential issues that KPMG detects in a client, on which we should briefly offer solutions for eight of the issues.
Then an interview with a Senior Manager, on which basically they review your CV, go over it and you explain your motivation for the role. If things go well, you'll get to meet a partner.

Interview
The Recruitment process involved two interviews. One with a panel, the other with a partner.
The first interview included a 70 questions critical reasoning test, a one-on-panel interview and a group discussion with other potential candidates.
The questions were majorly behavioral in nature and not too difficult
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Contacted by campus recruiter after submitting a resume. I was offered an interview on campus, and after making it past the first round I was invited to fly out to tour the office and I was interviewed by two of the managing partners there. The firm was very professional, and the interview process was organized in such a way that I knew what was going on. I have also interviewed with other accounting firms with similar results.
