I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at KPMG in Jun 2023
Interview
There was a very quick recruiter follow-up after the application (7 days), and 2 rounds of interviews quickly after. Then there was a sudden dropoff of communications for over 4 weeks. I understand there was the July 4th holiday break, but there was radio silence from TA for an entire month, which is unprofessional. When I asked about the next steps and process, no one wanted to outline the rest of the process. I hope they can get this cleaned up and be transparent with candidates about their processes to help ease minds. Also, if they are going to reject you, do it faster!

Question 1
Walk me through your career and what interested you in KPMG?
It was a very straightforward interview. I enjoyed talking to everyone, and it looks like a really nice firm. I would like to accept the offer, but I need to give it some thought.
Telefoninterview über Teams - mit Partner und Manager. Zuerst Personal Fit, CV präsentieren, dann fachliche Fragen im Bankensektor (z.B. beobachtete Trends). Am Ende ausreichend Zeit für Fragen und sonstige Themen. Rückmeldung kam telefonisch nach 2 Wochen.

Question 1
Welche Trends beobachtest du aktuell in der Finanzbranche?
Primarily a behavioral interview over 3 rounds. Some questions were a bit off-topic, but also meant to learn more about you. First met with the hiring manager and then 2 managers. I did not get an offer and also asked for feedback, but got no response.
