I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at KPMG (Kuala Lumpur) in Aug 2019
Interview
First of all, HR will contact you via email, send you a link to an online assessment that you are required to complete before a certain date. The following stage is attending the interview.
Interview separates into three parts,
First part is the group assessment/presentation. Groups will be given a case study, discuss with your group and present to the hiring manager.
Next part is the writing assessment, all candidates are required to write an essay with a time limit of 30 minutes. Topics are obviously work related and ask you to give your opinion on the matter, for example, your thoughts on work-life balance.
Last but not least, 2 v 1 interview. 2 hiring managers will be interviewing you, ask you questions regarding your past experience (if you have any), your time during uni, and some candidates might get technical questions.
An important note, the interviewers were really friendly.
However, it has been nearly two months since my interview with KPMG and I have not heard from them regarding the interview outcome. I did follow-up with their HR one month after the interview and they said the hiring manager has not made the decision.
Good luck to whoever is going for the interview!
