The interview process was pretty easy and straightforward with the hiring manager since I was an experienced hire and we mainly wanted to see if it was a good fit for both of us. It was more of a discussion/chat and then they gave me a quick tour of the office.

Behavioral Technical
It was pretty standard for a staff accountant. You'll get the usual behavioural questions, like 'tell me about a time when...'. There might be a few unexpected ones, but they're usually to gauge your personality, how you think, and if you'd be a good fit for the team.

So at KPMG, you might have a few interviews, tests, and assessments. It really changes depending on the job and your experience. First up, there's an HR interview, then some panel interviews with managers, a case study on stuff like marketing or strategy, a technical skills interview, and finally a group discussion.
