Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me three characteristics of yours. What are your strengths and weaknesses?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at KPMG (Johannesburg) in May 2019
Interview
It involved 3 interviews, moving from middle management to senior management. The process took 3 months and indeed a short case study test. They were very flexible on timing. All was done via video conferencing.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at KPMG (Riad) in Jun 2021
Interview
Lengthy process, not standardized, friendly people, sometimes technical but not a must, offer takes a while to arrive. I learnt that it depends on the region and office/team. The above applies to advisory only. No experience in other service lines.
