I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (New York, NY) in Oct 2010
Interview
I got the interview invitation from school's career service, and the interview was conducted at the office of career service. The Senior Manager asked me several question, like "Tell me about your leadership experience", "How did you handle confrontation?" Then he let me ask him questions. I can feel from the very beginning that he's not interested at all, because he kept on looking at the clock on the wall. But that's not my fault, I think my performance was beyond average.
Entirely behavioral, very straightfoward. Two separate rounds with opportunities to coffee chat before to ask questions. No technical questions, pretty much what you would expect. Final round is with a partner in the office
There were two interviews back-to-back. Got the email asking to be interviewed shortly after applying. There was a pre-interview social. They called me with their decision a day after the interview.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2024
Interview
15 minute recruiter chat into 2 30 minute interviews. An associate II reached out to me the night before and asked to chat as well, although he was much more chill, and I was able to bond with him on hobbies and aspirations.
