      Federal Tax Associate Interview

      27 Sept 2009
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Saint Louis, MO
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KPMG (Saint Louis, MO) in Oct 2008

      Interview

      Since it was a campus recruiting event, we had a pre-interview reception the night before just to give us more chances to know the company culture better. It worked out fine. However, the interview next day was kind of confusing. The manager asked me two questions and we finished in 10 minutes despite of the 30 minutes interview length. I was a little bit taken aback since he just asked me whether i have any questions by then, which usually signals the end of interview. I am not sure whether I should keep going on proving myself or just asked some questions about the companies. I ended up opt for the latter option and did not receive an offer for the position.
