I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at KPMG (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Mar 2021
Interview
The interview was mostly centered around the work experience; intricacies related to financial statement analysis (for eg how you analyze Netflix balance sheet particularly its deferred revenue item etc.)
The questions mostly revolve around the unusual items that we see in financial statements related to deferred revenue, prepaid expenses, one-off items in P&L related to other income etc.

Question 1
How would you analyze the balance sheet for Netflix?
Psychometric test, no one way online video interview unlike most other roles or big 4s, and simple in person interview with an email task (group) before one on one interview with one of the partner from the division and a manager - atleast for a graduate role.
Bad- they didn't even send the invite to the correct email id. Called me one day prior to the interview and didn't give proper feedback after rejection. I simply asked them 2-3 questions at the end despite my overall interview going well- and they rejected me cause of these questions.

Question 1
Behavioural questions only- no need to prep for cases for KPMG consulting gigs.
It was a smooth one, well divided into personal, technical and case based. I was asked about my previous experience, there was case study too around profitability of a bank. So i had to give full details around that and build a framework
