I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Petaling Jaya) in Sep 2015
Interview
After the basic online assessment, I was called for interview. There was around 30 of candidates. First session, candidates was assigned into group interview (5 in a group). A case study was given to discuss and present within 10 mins. Be careful of critical questions thrown by interviewer after the presentation. After that a written essay is required individually. Just answer 1 out of 2 questions of it. The last part was 1:1 interview, it was more to a chit chat section. Interviewers were friendly though. They are keen to aim your university experiences. No technical questions but more to testing your soft skills. Eg, team player role, problem solving.

Question 1
Do you experience any argument during your internship or university time? What is the outcome?
The interview process includes an application review, online assessments, recruiter screening, behavioral and technical interviews, and sometimes case studies or partner interviews, evaluating communication, problem-solving, technical knowledge, and cultural fit.
Smooth interview process that took only a week. The interval of the two interviews were short. Both the hiring manager and the Team Manager that interviewed me nice and approachable.
Easy going and straight foward a good combination between technical skills and behavioral question. Some of the queestion related to accounting and audit question and some related to our attitude
