I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at KPMG (Dubai) in Apr 2013
Interview
I have gone through two interviews:
1- first with a senior manager. Most of his questions were behavioral ones. He asked Why KPMG? Also asked about my intentions to complete my studies (whether ACCA or CPA). Asked me why ACCA (it is the preferred qualification for the big4 in that region).
2- Technical interview with a written test (Accounting and English/Arabic tests). You will be asked to translate an English paragraph to Arabic as many clients have English and Arabic financial statements.
It was a very straightforward interview. I enjoyed talking to everyone, and it looks like a really nice firm. I would like to accept the offer, but I need to give it some thought.
Telefoninterview über Teams - mit Partner und Manager. Zuerst Personal Fit, CV präsentieren, dann fachliche Fragen im Bankensektor (z.B. beobachtete Trends). Am Ende ausreichend Zeit für Fragen und sonstige Themen. Rückmeldung kam telefonisch nach 2 Wochen.

Question 1
Welche Trends beobachtest du aktuell in der Finanzbranche?
Primarily a behavioral interview over 3 rounds. Some questions were a bit off-topic, but also meant to learn more about you. First met with the hiring manager and then 2 managers. I did not get an offer and also asked for feedback, but got no response.
