I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KPMG in May 2008
Interview
I was introduced to KPMG HR team on a career fair by a former student intern. I was interviewed on the spot. They asked me some behavioral interview questions about my background, teamwork, quant abilities etc and that was pretty much it. It was really a piece of cake.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Corporate Finance? Everything that glitters is not Gold. Corporate finance has crazy hours, lot of drag work and is not as lucrative as it sounds. Are you aware of what you are getting yourself into?
It was an hour long with 2 hiring manager and HR. Whole process was like one round to offer. This spanned around 2 weeks in total from HR reach out to offer letter.
My interview process went smoothly and required little to no preparation. The questions were all general in nature and were just an overview of my resume. Very low stress interview process.
The interview process at KPMG was straightforward but rigorous. I completed an online assessment, followed by a video interview, and then a panel interview with case questions. The team was professional, and the timeline was reasonable, taking about a month from application to offer.
