Intern at KPMG
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Seattle, WA Feb 2013 – Reviewed Mar 10, 2013
Interview Details –
Initially applied through on-campus recruiting and participated in a one-on-one interview at my school. Afterwards I was invited to a four-hour office visit, which consisted of a brief company introduction, 2 half-hour interviews, and a 2-hour lunch with their associates. I received the offer within 2 hours of completing the second interview. Everyone was very friendly, and the experience was enjoyable.
All the questions in the three interviews were entirely behavioral and often the conversation was rather casual.

Associate Learning at KPMG
No Offer – Interviewed in Montvale, NJ Jan 2013 – Reviewed Mar 7, 2013
Interview Details – I was bought back from an earlier interview to meet with this new department. It wasnt the most challenging interview. I thought the questions were expected and that the Director and Managers were very friendly. Initial phone interview, in person interview. The most frustrating things about interviewing at KPMG is lack of HR follow up, and when you enter the building theres no front desk assistant you stand there confused until one of the friendly employees explain to you that you need to pick up a phone and call your contact. Ridiculous.
