I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at KPMG (New York, NY) in Apr 2011
Interview
Interview process was quite quick and painless. I had an initial phone interview with national hr rep then local hr rep then a half hour 1:1 with partner and half hour 1:1 with senior manager. I received an offer within the next couple days. They were able to beat a counter offer from another firm and accepted.

Question 1
Tell me about your work experiences on your resume and how you can bring value to the position?
It was a very straightforward interview. I enjoyed talking to everyone, and it looks like a really nice firm. I would like to accept the offer, but I need to give it some thought.
Telefoninterview über Teams - mit Partner und Manager. Zuerst Personal Fit, CV präsentieren, dann fachliche Fragen im Bankensektor (z.B. beobachtete Trends). Am Ende ausreichend Zeit für Fragen und sonstige Themen. Rückmeldung kam telefonisch nach 2 Wochen.

Question 1
Welche Trends beobachtest du aktuell in der Finanzbranche?
Primarily a behavioral interview over 3 rounds. Some questions were a bit off-topic, but also meant to learn more about you. First met with the hiring manager and then 2 managers. I did not get an offer and also asked for feedback, but got no response.
