I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KPMG (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
Very fast! I got an internal reference. First part was with the audit manager and then two staffs took me out for lunch for the second part. The third part was with a partner and finally, the fourth was with another partner. It was a long interview but mainly asked about resume and why public accounting. More like a conversation
The interview process includes an application review, online assessments, recruiter screening, behavioral and technical interviews, and sometimes case studies or partner interviews, evaluating communication, problem-solving, technical knowledge, and cultural fit.
Smooth interview process that took only a week. The interval of the two interviews were short. Both the hiring manager and the Team Manager that interviewed me nice and approachable.
Easy going and straight foward a good combination between technical skills and behavioral question. Some of the queestion related to accounting and audit question and some related to our attitude
