I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Hamburg) in Feb 2014
Interview
Zwei Vorstellungsgespräche mit jeweils einen Manager und einen Senior Manager aus der jeweiligen Abteilung. Sehr angenehme Fragen - größten teils personal fit questions und Motivation. Technische Fragen zum größten Teil zum Accounting. Zusammenhang financial statements, CF Analyse, Bestandteile FDD / VDD. Impairment Bewertung. Teilweise auf englisch. Alles im allem war es ein sehr angenehmes Gespräch und durch aus weiter zu empfehlen.
The interview process was pretty relaxed. Standard behavioral/ motivational questions. Just use STAR,know about the type of work they do and what specifically draws you to them over the other big 4 and you’re fine
