I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Sídney) in Apr 2017
Interview
I firstly applied through online application and then was required to do online tests.
After a day or so you receive an video interview e-mail. There are 3 questions, and I remember there are 2 minutes to prepare and a minute to answer (the time differed by questions but these are averages).
If you pass this stage, you are required to come along to the Assessment Centre to do a interview. Good luck guys!

Question 1
Why do you want to work for KPMG and the division you selected?
Quite a quick process from application to offer. Completed the standard online assessments and was invited for interviews shortly after. The launchpad (assessment centre) was a bit overwhelming but everyone was so chill and there was a lot of time to talk to other candidates and current KPMG employees. I had my offer two working days later.
Very straightforward interview with two people. A lot of questions in relation to tax law and tax regulations. They also asked several scenario-based questions to assess problem-solving skills and how I would apply tax principles in practical situations. The interview was professional and conversational, with opportunities to discuss previous experience and explain technical knowledge in detail. Overall, the process felt well-structured and focused on evaluating both technical expertise and communication skills.
I got a phone call with an invite to the interview. It was in person in their offices. It was intense, quite short about 20 minutes, and I was asked more questions about academics/school than I expected.
