I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (London, England) in Jan 2019
Interview
I applied online and got the recruiter to schedule a interview. It was a horrible interview and a complete waste of time. The interviewer called 40 minutes later than the scheduled time. The role was a technology consulting one in Financial transformations. He only asked for my technical experience for 15 minutes and concluded that I had no consulting experience. There were no deep dive questions on architecture, strategy, implementation etc. All the while he only wanted to push me to some other department. The reason is that they do not have any AI based technical projects or even data engineering projects I think. KPMG is not a technology company, no wonder they are trying to get into it. If you are technical and love technology avoid this company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you tell about your current work and technologies you work on?
Competency and technical with less known or unusual competency questions around innovation etc. Need to ensure you have good answers that can sufficiently demonstrate some of the things they’re looking for
Fijne gesprekken, maar vóór het eerste gesprek moest ik al een assessment invullen en er werd voor mijn gevoel enorm gehamerd op wat ik met data kunt aantonen (hoe vaak heb je x gedaan) in plaats van de dialoog aangaan.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at KPMG (Frankfurt am Main)

Invitation.
Interview.
Very smooth process, easy to arrive at their headquaters at the frankfurt airport. Did not wait too long and the questions very relativly easy. In my opinion it is more important that you fit personality wise.
