I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KPMG (London, England) in Jun 2016
Interview
One day (launch pad) consisting of analytic exercise, in-tray exercise, interview, group tasks. Generally around 30 other people there in a big all-day event. This changed from the traditional telephone interview, then assessment center approach. They still do online testing however. There is generally a relaxed environment and plenty of opportunities to talk to current trainees.
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
