Interview
Typically, KMPG recruits from colleges through campus career centers. Candidates submit resumes online, and if selected, they have a first round of interviews on campus. There is typically a half-hour one-on-one interview with a professional, typically a manager. Candidates who make the next round are invited to in-house interviews at the office. First the general recruiting partner gives an overview of the firm. Next, KPMG has an interesting final interview - they ask candidates to perform team-building group activities to see how they interact with each other. After that there is one interview, typically with a senior manager or partner. Afterwards, all the candidates are taken to lunch.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at KPMG (Singapore)
Interview
After submitting my CV, there was a virtual interview and they asked a market sizing question + why I wanted to join the specific department. They also asked about stuff in my CV and it was overall pretty manageable, they don't expect you to know much as an intern.
My interview process went smoothly and required little to no preparation. The questions were all general in nature and were just an overview of my resume. Very low stress interview process.
It was an hour long with 2 hiring manager and HR. Whole process was like one round to offer. This spanned around 2 weeks in total from HR reach out to offer letter.
