KPMG Consultant Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – On campus interview which led to an on site interview. Both went well and so accepted an offer,

Negotiation Details – No

Interview Details – Met with a manager and a managing director. Managing director appeared to be hyped up on something and edgy. Very hard to follow. Would not have worked for him if offered the position. HR appeared to be scrabbling and added a third interviewer in last minute which appeared to throw off the schedule. Not very well organized and did not leave a position impression of the company. Also, they continued to try and sell me on how KPMG has audit and tax relationships with companies so it is easy for them to move into the advisory consulting space with the same clients. This did not seem to be the case in practice for them and was not a logical sell.

Interview Details – The consulting company arranged the interview and it was quick and easy. KPMG is a global company and there are many people in the US on rotation from around the world. As such, many people do not have great English communication skills, and this can lead to misunderstandings. There are many, many consultants here, and they are given autonomy and expected to pick up the ball and run with it.

Negotiation Details – Negotiated with consulting company for a higher rate.

Interview Details – First send your information to the human resources via email, then they will notify you for further information if you get an invitation to interview. The interview will take place in the office. With the HR, director from the division that you are potentially working for, and the partner.

They want people who can work long hours and good work ethic. Over time working is inevitable - show that you don't care.

Interview Details – Most of the interviews in the Audit 4 are the same- first you should take several tests for mathematical and logic skills,then you will be interviewed by HR manager,who will ask some personal questions,which are focused on testing your communication skills,then you shpold pass one or a few interviews with managers of your potential department

Reason for Declining – I was not prepared to spent so much time at work while I was studying. The expectations was a bit higher,then they were in reality and I was a bit disappointed with my future responsibilities.

Interview Details – Very structured interview with predictable questions. If you have done your research properly - you won'be surprised by anything during the process.
Be prepared for finance-based English test even you are not applying for a financial position.

Interview Details – This was a high intensity interview process in terms of testing, the number of interviews, and the amount of time required.

Interview Details – Applied via SMS, got invited to a group interview where we were tasked with different activities in groups with people assessing us. After group interview did online tests on maths, language and personality. Never got the results, but after this only a select group continued. Got invited to first 1 on 1 interview with HR department where the questions was more general regarding your expectations and company culture, then had a partner interview regarding the job itself to allign what you expected with what you will be doing before the offer was made.

Negotiation Details – Not a lot of negotiation, just on study leave and payments..otherwise it was a fixed structure.

Interview Details – Interviewers were extremely pleasant, and made the entire process seem like a normal dialogue. Interview predominantly focused on fit questions, and reviewing what was already on my resume.

There were no case study questions.
