I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at KPMG (Bangkok) in Mar 2015
Interview
I applied online and was contacted by HR team via email. They required me to do an online personality exam and an online English exam (this position is for in Bangkok, Thailand). Then I waited for a month probably until I was contacted for the interview but I was in abroad at that time so I had a phone interview with the manager of the department I applied for instead of an on site interview. The interview lasted for about half an hour.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself. What is your strength and weakness? Why do you want to be part of KPMG? Did you apply to any other companies? How can you solve conflict? What do you expect from this position?
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.
