I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG in Oct 2009
Interview
Had a campus inerview with a Manager for KPMG. He was so laid back it was unbeleivable. I left the interview feeling pretty good about it (I'm from a top school and he seemed to acknowledge that). A couple weeks later, I received an email for a group office visit interview. This was basicallly lunch, an interview, an office tour, and two more interviews, one with a partner and one with a manager. They just asked typical behavioral questions and ran down your resume. I think that my positive attitude, confidence, and enthusiasm helped put me ahead of some of the other students. Also I had a list of prepared questions that I brought (ie IFRS or GAAP?). They seemed impressed by that.
I applied online. I interviewed at KPMG (Bengaluru)
Interview
It was average. General accounting terms. Foundation level. Interviewer are supportive.
First was a online test then technical round, the HR round was Salary discussion. Delay inbetween rounds and HR will ignore calls.
it was okayish, interviewed one-to-one with the audit manager, she's friendly and approachable and she asked quite few questions on audit, it was okayish, interviewed one-to-one with the audit manager, she's friendly and approachable and she asked quite few questions on audit
Two back-to-back 30-minute interviews, the first one with a partner and the second one with a director and the overall interview process was smoother than I expected. Mostly I was asked behavioral questions as I heard.
