First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at KPMG.
Intern
For the KPMG internship, the process had three parts. First, I sent in my application. Then, I had to write an essay on a topic given to me, which was meant to show how I think and communicate. Lastly, there was an interview where I was asked questions about my past, how I solve problems, and my experiences working with others. It felt pretty organized and professional, and the interviewer was nice and made me feel comfortable.
- Tell me about a challenge you encountered while working on a team project and how you overcame it.
Intern
The KPMG Consulting interview process in Sydney was pretty straightforward and structured. Started with submitting a resume and cover letter, then an online assessment center with some situational judgment and basic problem-solving tasks. After that, there was just one in-person interview, which was entirely behavioural—no technical or case study questions. The whole process felt standard and manageable, nothing too intense or unexpected.
- Would you describe yourself as someone who can handle various situations effectively, and can you provide examples of how you've approached problems in the past?
Intern
We started with some small talk. Then, I was asked about my CV and some finance topics. After that, a business case was presented, which we discussed in depth. They also asked me more questions about my knowledge.
- Can you describe a restructuring report?
- Can you tell us about your CV?
- What do you know about finance topics?
