The process took 2 days. I interviewed at KPMG in Jun 2011
Interview
First round consisted of one on one interview, In house consisted of 3 one on one interviews, a group/team building exercise with the other candidates, and a meal with a first or second year associate to finish up.
Interviews consisted of a lot of behavior questions focusing on teams, dealing with conflicts, leadership skills, etc. With regard to the group exercise, they give the team a collective problem to solve and observe the team/individuals as they work towards a solution.
Relative to other Big 4 a lot more interaction and they try to present their firm as a more "fun" oriented company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you lead a time and had to motivate the members
The interview process includes an application review, online assessments, recruiter screening, behavioral and technical interviews, and sometimes case studies or partner interviews, evaluating communication, problem-solving, technical knowledge, and cultural fit.
Smooth interview process that took only a week. The interval of the two interviews were short. Both the hiring manager and the Team Manager that interviewed me nice and approachable.
Easy going and straight foward a good combination between technical skills and behavioral question. Some of the queestion related to accounting and audit question and some related to our attitude
