Application
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at KPMG (Charlotte, NC) in Apr 2026
Interview
My KPMG interview was primarily behavioral, focusing on teamwork, communication, and problem-solving experiences. The interviewers were very friendly, welcoming, and professional, which created a comfortable environment and encouraged open conversation.
Interview was pretty straight forward. 2 back to back interviews. Mostly behavioral questions. They want to make sure that you know about the role and the company. Honestly be yourself and be confident since at the end it's what they want to see in a candidate
