Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What interests you about this particular graduate scheme
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (London, England) in Sep 2018
Interview
After the application, you will be invited for SJT and if you are successful with SJT then next you will be invited with numerical and verbal test. It is a very straight forward process from here. If you are successful with this then you will be invited for digital submission and you will be given questions to answer in that email with procedure on how to submit it. If you are successful then you will be invited to the launchpad and the results are out in two days. Launchpad is an amazing experience and a very fair procedure compared to other assessment centres I have attended before. During the group exercise the assessors change every task so you are judged very fairly rather than 1 person judging one group. Next for me was interview with senior management of my department. The manager made me very comfortable and I didn't feel like it was interview at all but felt like management wanted to know me personally about my understanding of the company and motivation for my career with the company. My personal suggestion would be to be genuine and not give cliched answers. Rather actually ask yourself why do you want to be with them.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at KPMG (Birmingham, England) in Oct 2016
Interview
Applied online and was invited to sit psychometric tests. After that they asked for 2 minute audio submission about the area you're applying for.
The final stage is Launch Pad - a sort of all in one interview and assessment centre.
The day involved networking (standing around) for a few hours followed by an introduction speech to KPMG, a group exercise (designing an app on a given subject), an hour long session writing a report, and a 20 minute partner interview.
The group exercise was quite fun, the report writing was challenging and quite time pressured, and the interview itself was just competency questions (no case interview) and a small chat at the end. Interviews are done in a big room with lots of interviewers and candidates (1:1), and it was fairly loud, but this is not a problem.
KPMG assess you according to their global behavioural capabilities and not necessarily against each other - people going into different roles were mixed - so make sure to work together with your group and keep what they want in mind.
KPMG give you the result within two days of Launch Pad, so it's very quick!
