I applied online. I interviewed at KPMG (London, England) in Jan 2016
Interview
The application starts with an online form and the standard numerical and verbal reasoning tests. Then there's a 1 hour telephone interview with the standard questions. Next you go in for a half-day assessment day. This includes a group case study, an office simulation task and a timed written report on given information. After each stage you fill in a self-assessment form.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why KPMG?
Why this scheme?
Tell me about a time you worked in a team?
A time you overcame a setback? etc
I went to the assessment centre which was the last stage in the graduate audit scheme. We first had an assessed group exercise (involving 4 people including yourself). We were given a topic and had to recommend which path KPMG should go down and then a partner interview which lasts around 30/40 mins
Submit an initial application then complete a monitored (video and audio) online assessment (Situational Judgement Test, logical, numerical) and strengths based video recorded interview. Final stage is an assessment centre in person.
