I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at KPMG (Irvine, CA) in Oct 2010
Interview
I had two 1:1 interviews by a manager and a senior manager. Felt good about both interviews, no tough questions, conversations flowing well, and I did like both of the interviewers. They kept smiling to me, and so I assumed they liked me as well (You should never assume that).
However, when I almost felt 100% positive, I got a rejection letter. Other than feeling very disappointed, I was a bit pissed by getting the email said " we couldn't offer you the internship at this moment", "please consider to apply a full-time position". Dude, I was applying a full-time position?? Speechless...wondering how much do they care about people? Even to those who didn't win this time, we should always maintain a relationship. That's very important as being public accountants!
I did like a few people in the office and made a really good connection with them, but maybe sometimes a group of nice people doesn't represent the firm's culture. I don't believe I have seen the real face of everybody there.
My suggestion is to keep your options open. Always. And now I am extremely excited about going to the place where really belongs to me!
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
