I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at KPMG in Apr 2016
Interview
Standard telephone interview and Assessment Centre.
The telephone interview included situation judgement (similar to the online situation judgement questions) and competency based questions.
Assessment centre included E-tray, group exercise and written exercise.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you had to perform under a pressurized environment/tight deadline.
A time u have gone the extra mile for a customer/meeting the special needs of a customer.
Very straightforward interview with two people. A lot of questions in relation to tax law and tax regulations. They also asked several scenario-based questions to assess problem-solving skills and how I would apply tax principles in practical situations. The interview was professional and conversational, with opportunities to discuss previous experience and explain technical knowledge in detail. Overall, the process felt well-structured and focused on evaluating both technical expertise and communication skills.
I got a phone call with an invite to the interview. It was in person in their offices. It was intense, quite short about 20 minutes, and I was asked more questions about academics/school than I expected.
