I applied online. I interviewed at KPMG in Aug 2021
Interview
Multiple virtual interviews. First with the recruiter, then Advisory Employees in the program, then a Sponsor (Direct Manager), Managing Director, then last the Program Director.
30mins-1hr interviews, focused on qualifications and competence mostly, made me feel at ease and comfortable, expressed the importance of the firms standards and culture.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you were faced with an obstacle and what was the outcome?
Advisory Internship interview. Two behavioral 30-minute interviews with a manager and an MD. received the offer over the phone after around 2 weeks. accepted the full time offer post internship.
2 rounds of behavioral interviews; come prepared to speak about yourself, answer scenario-based questions, and ask thoughtful questions of your interviewers.
They will ask questions specific to the Advisory practice you applied to, so come prepared with relevant accomplishments and solutions you've implemented in that domain previously.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at KPMG (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
It was fluid! The interviewer didn’t ask me anything out of the ordinary. It was primarily a fit check rather than technical. I’ve heard it varies, i may have just gotten a chill recruiter.
