Interview Details – It was the typical first round campus interview a person would expect. Dual interviewers welcomed me as I sat in a somewhat cramped room at my college's career center. They asked the normal questions like why I was interested in the position and the company. Went on to ask if I had any questions. Many open ended questions were asked by them as expected.

Interview Details – Direct final interview with four interviewers, one by one, the first two interviewers are Chinese, both of them are senior managers, the third interviewer is Indian, who is a manager, the last interviewer is a partner of the company, who is the nicest person of all four. The second interviewer is a disaster. She kept saying "you are wrong" and " I don't understand or agree" sort of things, and she brought many offensive questions, which really pissed me off.
Interview Question – Why you choose to go to graduate school? Is it because you couldn't find a job after college? Answer Question

Interview Details – Had one of the worst experience in the history of phone interviews. Was initially considered for the same role and made it to the last round, however this time around had a bad experience with the HR contact. She told me a date and time to call and then didn't pick up. Responded an hour later and said she was having a busy morning and I should call back at another date. In the second attempt, she sounded extremely uninterested even before the first question. She was also typing so loudly that it was distracting to answer.
Interview Question – Basic questions - Walk through your resume, Why KPMG, Elaborate on your present position. Answer Question

Interview Details – Received in interview a week after submitting my application. It was very relaxed. Talked for about 15-20 minutes. It was short and sweet just a couple of behavioral questions such as "describe a time outside of school where you displayed leadership." If you play sports talk to them about it they like that.

Interview Details – I had to fill out a very long internet form. I didn't get past this stage and I was given no feedback as to why. I think they are looking for the cheapest people they can get, because I met the requirements they specified, but may have been overqualified with a PhD.
