I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2024
Interview
Passed through two phases of the interview. The first phase consisted of a couple of behavioral questions and a 45-minute case, with two consultants as the interviewers. The second phase consisted of more behavioural questions and another 45-minute case with two managers. It is important to highlight that you are given a PDF with examples of behavioral questions you might be asked and an interview buddy to connect with and clarify any doubts.
