I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG
Interview
After completing the online tests, which were similar to those of all other audit practices, I had an online virtual internship. This was quite long, it lasted an hour and half for me and was made of up of scenario questions which you had to type or select answers for as well as a few recorded video answers.
After passing this stage I had a face to face video interview with an employee at the KPMG branch I applied to and this went really well. It was mainly made up of questions about how I would cope with making mistakes and or dealing with unfamiliar scenarios. My interviewer was really friendly and made the interview an enjoyable experience. It lasted for an hour or so but honestly felt like a matter of minutes and within a few seconds of the video call starting all nerves had vanished for me.
I was informed I passed this stage, but unfortunately due to coronavirus they had to close their internship applications shortly after so I did not receive an offer.
I will be applying again for a graduate role and the experience as a whole made me feel like KPMG would be a company I would like to work with.

The interviewers were kind and genuinely interested in who I was. They cared about my path and career choices and ultimately left the decision up to me when deciding between firms to intern for, while maintain a good relationship with me.
