I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at KPMG (Los Angeles, CA) in Jul 2011
Interview
Went very smoothly. Calling directly and getting to know a recruiter is a great option for those that don't have campus recruiting available to them. Staff was very friendly and helpful with answering any question I asked. This was my first interview so I can't compare with others, but there wasn't too much pressure nor any question that stood out as silly. Interviewed with four people: a partner, two managers and a director.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you think your experience working independently would benefit KPMG?
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
