I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KPMG (Coimbatore) in Sep 2019
Interview
The interview consists of an online test followed by a gd. There will be huge shortlists in the above two rounds. After clearing GD you will be called on for a technical interview. The interviewer will focus mainly on your projects and a few general questions from your resume. After clearing this technical interview you will be called on for an HR interview and then a Directorial interview. Both of these rounds are panel dependent and mostly it will deal with general interactions about handling the situations.

Question 1
online test - psychometric and data interpretation
GD - general topic
I applied online. One week after I received an email for a brief conversation about my CV. Few days after, I did this interview (phone call) with one recruitment member who was very unprofessional. When you are doing an interview to one candidate you try to have a fluent conversation and catch from that conversation the most relevant aspects of the candidate, however in that case was the opposite. The recruiter let me know from the very beginning that I must speak very slow because he/she have to take notes and interrupts me very frequently because he/she didn't successfully catch what I said. In addition, despite the recruiter ask me about my professional experience, he/she interrupts me because from her/his point of view I was giving a lot of information that will be ask later, something that never happened.
At the end, the recruiter told me that I will be contacted in the following two week for the following steps something that never happened and I'm pretty sure that is nothing new about this company recruiter team because the same happened few months ago that I applied to a different position.
Unfortunately, despite this is a great company I will not consider it again due to the lack of professionalism from the recruiter team that is one of the first impression that you have from the company when you are looking for a new job opportunity and talk a lot about company organisation.

Interview
Went through the campus placement process in my undergrad college. Since they have a brand value with their name, they leverage it by offering a lower pay than industry average. I had 2 rounds of interviews, no Gd. The staff seemed cordial and the whole process was done with in a few hours

Question 1
Questions were mostly based on concepts I’d said I have worked upon on my CV. Other than that the interviewer asked Pestel, Porters analysis. Then he gave me a simple problem to solve on Excel- just basic formulae and stuff
