I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Bengaluru) in Mar 2022
Interview
First two rounds of interview went very well and even the HR's were very friendly even after gettimg rejected in third round.
Now in 3rd round interview with a director of KPMG tried to exploit by saying that the answers given to his questions like what is answer of 1 to the power of 100 was not satisfactory but if I stick to my current package of 9LPA he would immediately hire me!!
I have always admired KPMG and also couple of my friends do work there and given Excellent feedback.
But unfortunately KPMG must look into such issues where people designated as directors must have some humanity and sense before taking the interview.
This is very unfortunate!!

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Londres, Inglaterra) in Mar 2022
Interview
Very informative process throughout.
Interview consisted of 3 stages, Manager, Associate Partner and then Partner.
Manager (1st Interview): Common competency questions came up, tell me a time when you... explain your motivations for joining the company, best and worst traits etc.
Associate Partner (2nd Interview) - more technical questions about the trends in the industry, my motivations - commercial awareness is key here whilst also demonstrating you match the companies values.
Partner (Final Interview) - more technical questions about my current role and whether I'd be a good fit for the role - gave time for questions at the end.
All in all the process was super slick and informative, usually took 2-3 days to hear back from each interview. Received an offer the same week as my final interview.
