I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Brüssel) in Dec 2021
Interview
This is for Belgium, I cannot speak about other countries.
1. online tests and online video interview (where a question would be asked by means of a little video, and you would have a minute to prepare an answer, and then have to answer in a video)
2. Hr and Business Interview (in the Business Interview, two senior managers were present) --> for me, one of the business managers was "good cop" and another was "bad cop". Left a bad taste in my mouth afterwards, I wouldn't want to work for this firm.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
in HR they really wanted to see your love for the company, and why you chose them, 'tell us about yourself'.
For business interview: a lot of experience questions (also for graduate students) about challenges, weaknesses, strengths, deadlines, conflicting tasks, something you're proud of, why KPMG, why advisory, and why this exact branch.
Be prepared to have 1 Q in english and 1Q in the other language: Dutch/French
If you prepare your knowledge about the company, show interest, and know basic interview questions you will be fine. they expect you to LOVE the firm, and have very clear reasons for applying there (not just BS ones)
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Zaventem, Flemish Brabant) in Aug 2021
Interview
Eerst een video opname bestaande uit mondelinge vragen en schriftelijke vragen waar je een bepaalde tijd had om te antwoorden en jezelf op te nemen terwijl je antwoord op de vragen, vervolgens een echte solicitatiegesprek via teams vervolgens een uitnodiging voor een tweede gesprek.
I applied online they sent me an email the process took a little longer than one month but also because I was abroad.
I had a first interview with an HR - very basic questions, just getting to know you and the open positions that are available
Second interview with a director- very informal, also nothing really tricky or challenging. I just had another call with someone else just to confirm there was a fit with the team.
