I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at KPMG (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2012
Interview
There are two stages of interviews. One is normal one-on-one case interview combined with behvioral questions - 2 rounds of these. The second stage, if you make through the first one, is a panel interview. In the panel interview, the candidate is given a real-life case with all the data and access to excel and powerpoint. The candidate gets three hours to understand the problem at hand, analyze the data and recommend solutions through a power point template. The candidate gets 15 minutes before a panel followed by 15 mins of questions/ answer session.

Question 1
What would be one reason that you would not want to join KPMG
Straightforward process. There was an initial interview with HR, then a Director and then finally the Partner. The partner interview was the easiest. That last part is just a culture fit check
The job interview process went through 3 rounds across different levels down-up, excluding the talent manager. It was brutal but totally worth it. The timing sequence is fairly fast ~ every 2 weeks.
Processo abbastanza lungo e molto focalizzato su parte tecnica e gestione delle risorse junior, cercano figure più di gestione che di effettivo sviluppo e gestione del cliente. Le domande non sono complicate ma bisogna cercare di mostrare più il lato manageriale che tecnico
