      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2015

      Interview

      I networked with the firm through my BAP chapter on my university campus. The networking and getting to know the recruiters and managers were a very important part of the process. I applied through our university website for the leadership conference and was asked to schedule an interview about a week later. I interviewed with the recruiter (although there was another manager also interviewing candidates). The whole interview took about 35 minutes. I knew the recruiter I met with, so it was pretty relaxed. Mostly behavioral questions plus the general "why accounting" question. A good experience overall!

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      Why accounting?

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Santa Barbara, CA) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      Went to the pre-interview dinner and trivia night but didn't meet my interviewer. The next day I had two 30 minute interviews with a partner and a manager. The partner just wanted to get to know me and see if I would be a good fit. The manager, however, had no interest being there at all and read off a sheet of behavioral questions all the while only giving very brief responses to me.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Asked about 10 of the most common behavioral questions. Heavily revolved around working with teams
