The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG in May 2013
Interview
Online tests, followed by a telephone interview, an assessment center with simulated client and internal meetings and finally a partner interview. The phone interview is competency based and you need to come up with loads of examples. The partner interview can take any shape or form.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What previous experience have you had and what have you learned from it.
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.
