J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez KPMG (Petaling Jaya) en mars 2023
Entretien
Applied online by KPMG website/ LinkedIn HR called less than a week later on a Monday at 4 or 5 pm. I missed the call. Tried calling back (they used the KPMG general line) but the reception could not trace back and did not provide any help or alternative before hanging up. HR called again on a Monday one week later at about 3 or 4 pm. Missed the call again. Tried calling back to ask the reception if they could connect me to anyone in HR but they just hung up. Attended a career fair about 1 week later and passed along my resume and the HR person said that they would highlight it to their audit HR people. Received a call about 2 weeks after. After that she sent an online assessment which consist of a what type of jobs your suitable for, personality test, what work culture you like, some simple maths which requires some logical mathematical skills, some pattern identification test, and deduce based on a text test to identify whether a statement is true, false or can't say. The last 3 are the ones with a tight time limit and requires some brain work. Less than 1 week later on a Monday, I received a call to attend a physical interview with the audit hiring manager on that very Friday. During the interview, there was only 1 person interviewing and it was a super chill session. It was just like a conversation between 2 people. Then it was my turn to ask questions. There was no case study test or IQ test or English test. Throughout my adhering of her questions, I also had the opportunity to clarify any of her replies or follow up answers.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
During call: The HR person asked about my internship experience, one of my curricular activities, why I chose KPMG, if I applied to other big 4s and which is my top company choice. Physical Interview: The hiring manager first started out explaining who she was and what "group" she was in (apparently the audit group in KPMG is divided into 5, K. P. M. G and FS, besides FS which is financial services, each group has subgroups within the group that handles engagements from various sections, which is unlike other big 4 which divides you into groups based on sectors). I asked about the groups and she explained it. She then asked me to tell her about myself. Followed by asking about my internship experience and other work experience . Then she asked why I chose audit instead of tax which I did an internship in. She also asked me about how I handle stress and proceeds to explain how it would be stressful and hectic during peak seasons. Then we moved on to the technical questions: 1. Explain any one of the accounting standards I understand 2. Double entry: how to record provision for doubtful debts and what if the bad debt was paid back.
The interview process includes an application review, online assessments, recruiter screening, behavioral and technical interviews, and sometimes case studies or partner interviews, evaluating communication, problem-solving, technical knowledge, and cultural fit.
Smooth interview process that took only a week. The interval of the two interviews were short. Both the hiring manager and the Team Manager that interviewed me nice and approachable.
Easy going and straight foward a good combination between technical skills and behavioral question. Some of the queestion related to accounting and audit question and some related to our attitude
