Associate SAP Consultant at KPMG
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Atlanta, GA Apr 2013 – Reviewed May 2, 2013
Interview Details – I applied online and received a phone call from one of the recruiters, she told me I was going to get a call from an IT person grading my technical abilities. After the phone call, 2 days later I was sent an email to interview in ATL GA, in 6 days on a Friday I traveled to ATL, my ticket was bought and I was lodged at the Westin, I met with 3 interviewers that day and they were all very easy to talk to, very relaxing and the interview was very conversational. The First Lady asked me a lot of technical and behavioral questions and the other 2 just really told me about the company. It was an overall great experience, everyone was extremely nice cos I remember I caught a cold on the plane the day before and they almost nursed me.
Negotiation Details – I was given an offer 2 weeks later and I accepted.

Advisory Associate at KPMG
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in McLean, VA Mar 2012 – Reviewed Apr 30, 2013
Interview Details – The interview was very laid back. I met with three different people in one afternoon. Each seemed really nice, and interested in hiring me. They were more interested in casual talk than even going through the resume. They didn't look at my resume while I was there, but all said, walk me through your resume. I never finished on any of the interviews, because they would stop and want to talk in more detail about what job they are hiring for. The office local was nice (Tyson's area), and very professional.
Interview Question – What do you want to make? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I did not negotiate.
