I applied online. I interviewed at KPMG (Kampala) in May 2014
Interview
I applied early this year on line as a fresh graduate (KPMG Uganda), i did my written aptitude test which i passed. After a few weeks i was invited to KPMG Kampala offices for a group exercise which i passed. Two weeks after that exercise, i was invited for manager's interview which i did not pass. The managers that interviewed me were bullies (I should say) at the end of that interview i had lost love for KPMG, I couldn't imagine myself working with such arrogant managers!

Question 1
As a former Engineering student, I was asked, "if you got an offer from a large Engineering firm today, would you take it up?"
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2013
Interview
I applied online. I was accepted for an interview and completed an online personality and skills assessment. The interview was very informal. I interviewed with 2 people: a manager and a senior associate/campus recruiter whom I had talked to a few times at networking events. Questions were largely behavioral and/or resume based. The interviewers were very nice. The interview was scheduled for 30 mins which passed very quickly. At the end of the 30 mins someone was repeatedly knocking at the door trying to get the next interviewee into the room which made me a bit flustered.

I applied through college or university. The process took 7+ months. I interviewed at KPMG (College Park, MD) in Sep 2013
Interview
So they took a really long time to get back to me, and they are known for keeping their maybes waiting for a long time. The pre-interview night was a lot of fun, but the person who interviewed me gave me a strong impression that it was a no within 30 seconds.

Question 1
The most difficult question was that they commented about my GPA and looked extremely displeased. If that is the case for anyone interviewing with them, be sure to emphasize your other strong points.
