The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Burnaby, BC) in Oct 2010
Interview
I completed the skill testing on line as a first step. The phone interview was basic. A waste of time. The face to face interview was relaxed and about an hour and a half. I felt some of the questions were inappropriate (personal stuff like how's your health, how many sick days do you take, do you have kids). The person who interviewed me showed an interest immediately and wanted to set up an interview with the partner I would be working for. She called the next day with a time to meet the partner. The meeting was cancelled last minute due to a scheduling conflict. It was rescheduled and cancelled again. The following week I got a call from HR in Toronto and advised that they were going forward with another applicant. I truly believe that this person came along last minute as there were no other applicants being interviewed when we spoke. I would never apply at KPMG again.
One of those places that expects you to go through rigorous testing prior to even getting an interview just to offer you a salary below living wage. Waste of your time.

I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Calgary, AB) in Nov 2024

Casual, laid back, they did the talking. They were very serious about conveying expectations surrounding positive attitude and warm personality. They ensured I had a clear understanding of resources, team, knowledge and expectations.
