Analyst at KPMG
Declined Offer – Reviewed Mar 03, 2013
Interview Details I got an interview call for the Integirty Due Diligence department at KPMG. The phone interview was basic, with most of the questions based on my CV. I'm a fresher and so, a lot of stress was put on my Masters Dissertation/ Thesis (I was literally asked to explain the whole thing). The next step was an online written case study. A lot of articles, newspaper cuttings and clippings were sent to me and questions were framed on the information given. I was given a maximum time of 6 hours to finish it. This was followed by a face to face interview.
Interview Question – In the case study, a few questions were pretty tricky and confusing. Answer Question

Business Analyst at KPMG
Accepted Offer – Reviewed Feb 02, 2013
Interview Details
Got an interview invite via consultancy. The questions asked were not very though and the entire atmosphere was very conversational.
Didn't get a chance to negotiate the salary and other stuff as the HR seemed not too inclined towards negotiations.
Focus on the previous work and show how you fit into the entire culture.
