I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Athens, OH) in Sep 2015
Interview
Applied on university recruitment website and was invited to a pre interview night and interview on campus. The interview was mostly behavioral questions and a few administrative questions. Received an email a week later of the decline of a second interview due to my GPA. Do NOT apply if you have below the requirement even if they tell you it doesn't matter - this happened to me and i was .05 below the requirement, went to the interview and got denied even though they told me it wasnt a problem. I would not recommend them to someone.

Question 1
Why audit over tax?
Questions about teams; tell me about a time you failed in a team? led a team? etc.
What made you go into accounting?
Which location is your first preferred ?
Short term and long term goals?
Smooth and fast reply , but the intake too long after the interview session will made candidates to chose other company that has a more shorter starting job , that all
First round was basic assessment, like video interview and some numerical test.
Second round was group interview, there were 8 ppl in total in my group and we have to come up with a conclusion during the 40 mins and a 5-min presentation
