I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG in Oct 2022
Interview
The interview process was very straightforward, consisting of two 30-minute back-to-back interviews. All of the questions were behavioral. KPMG held two information sessions to help candidates prepare for their interview where they clearly stated how to prepare, examples of good answers, and how they evaluate candidates. They also send an email with a Know Before You Go pamphlet with a 10 sample questions, and my interviewers asked all of them. There are no case-style questions in interviews for the Federal Advisory practice.

Question 1
Why KPMG? Why Federal Advisory? How effectively do you balance your course load at school with any jobs or extracurricular activities? Describe a goal that you have set for yourself in the last year.
Advisory Internship interview. Two behavioral 30-minute interviews with a manager and an MD. received the offer over the phone after around 2 weeks. accepted the full time offer post internship.
2 rounds of behavioral interviews; come prepared to speak about yourself, answer scenario-based questions, and ask thoughtful questions of your interviewers.
They will ask questions specific to the Advisory practice you applied to, so come prepared with relevant accomplishments and solutions you've implemented in that domain previously.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at KPMG (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
It was fluid! The interviewer didn’t ask me anything out of the ordinary. It was primarily a fit check rather than technical. I’ve heard it varies, i may have just gotten a chill recruiter.
