I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at KPMG (London, England) in Sept 2014
Interview
Interview process was straight forward and easily guided. Numerous psychometric tests followed by a phone interview and assessment centre. The most difficult part was the assessment centre, very full on particularly the two simulated interviews with the "line manager" and "client". The actors were helpful enough but it was still very unusual. The E-Tray exercise was straight forward. No feed back given however despite their guarantee that it would.

Question 1
Most Difficult Question: Some of the questions from the "client" interview were only partially related to the questions and material set.
Very straightforward interview with two people. A lot of questions in relation to tax law and tax regulations. They also asked several scenario-based questions to assess problem-solving skills and how I would apply tax principles in practical situations. The interview was professional and conversational, with opportunities to discuss previous experience and explain technical knowledge in detail. Overall, the process felt well-structured and focused on evaluating both technical expertise and communication skills.
I got a phone call with an invite to the interview. It was in person in their offices. It was intense, quite short about 20 minutes, and I was asked more questions about academics/school than I expected.
