I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Boston, MA) in Dec 2016
Interview
I go to a small college that KPMG does not normally recruit from. A coworker sent my resume to their friend at KPMG, who forwarded it to the campus recruiter. Then applied online and had a phone interview about 2 weeks later.
One week after that, had 2 interviews with a partner and a manager. Each one lasted about half an hour. Received a job offer the next day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a time you failed at something.
Why should we hire you?
My interview process went smoothly and required little to no preparation. The questions were all general in nature and were just an overview of my resume. Very low stress interview process.
It was an hour long with 2 hiring manager and HR. Whole process was like one round to offer. This spanned around 2 weeks in total from HR reach out to offer letter.
The interview process at KPMG was straightforward but rigorous. I completed an online assessment, followed by a video interview, and then a panel interview with case questions. The team was professional, and the timeline was reasonable, taking about a month from application to offer.
