I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at KPMG (Xangai, Xangai) in May 2021
Interview
Interview process was great and smooth, the interviewer took time to listen to my queries and gave positive response. The case interview was online and moderate in difficulty, everything was very standard.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Market Sizing - How many starbucks coffee were sold in Shanghai this year?
Case interview with a selected client, behavioral interview questions, situational assessment/judgement scenarios to test your ability to think critically and out of the box as well as some standard fireside chat interactions with senior consultants in the field that you are applying for with 2 rounds of interviews
Long and difficult questions but if you are ready you will get in. They were all nice and polite.
Later on I also participated on interviews from the other side and the focus truly is to find motivated, smart people who actually want the job. Just be yourself and show what you got.
