I applied online. I interviewed at KPMG (New York, NY) in Jan 2016
Interview
Very streamlined with feedback at every step of the way. My recruiter was, by far, one of the best of those I've worked with (and this is considering I didn't get the job).
On the day of the in person interview I definitely felt impressed by the people I spoke with at KPMG; That said, I was incredibly intimated which might have hurt me. I was able to speak with most people one on one, at least briefly, which gave me a feel of the lab (nice ambience).
Surprisingly, in regards to other KPMG reviews I've read as well as what my friends at KPMG, the whole process was super quick. This might have been because I interviewed at their Innovation center rather than a more corporate role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why KPMG's Innovation Lab?
Why the associate position (or something to that effect)?
What do you think is important about innovation?
Why your previous position? How will your skills transfer over to a lab environment?
There was also a test/game using sticky notes and the topic of "holidays" to assess how strong the candidate would be at interacting with clients and pushing along business processes during lab sessions.
Only 1 round of interview. It was mainly behaviorial questions. I was quite surprised that they didnt ask me about the technical knowledge, maybe because im not from an accounting background
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Münster, North Rhine-Westphalia) in Nov 2014
