Applied mid October and two weeks later spoke to a HR person. Two weeks after that I was contacted by another HR person to speak with a manager. Spoke with them 30 minutest over the phone. I then had to follow up two weeks later to hear if I made it the next round. I did and then spoke to a director the following week for another 30 minutes over then phone. I could tell he could care less to talk to me and he felt absent during our conversation. A week passes and I hear nothing. This time I followed up again with HR and learn the next day through a standard letter that they were not interested in me. I don't know what I'm more disappointed by: 1) not getting the job; 2) the fact that I had to be the one to continually follow up with them; or 3) that the whole process took nearly two months.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (McLean, VA) in Jun 2021
Interview
Seamless interview process from start to finish. Applied online and received a screening call from a recruiter based in South Africa who then connected me with another recruiter in Jamaica who scheduled another call with the head recruiter in the US for the specific practice in Advisory.
Call with the Head Recruiter went well, very conversational. She then scheduled a series of 3, 45-min video interviews with Director, Director, and Managing Director. These went well. Then spoke to the Partner and sealed the deal.
Everyone was welcoming, down to earth and seemed genuinely interested in me, my professional experience, and what I had to offer. Questions were entirely behavioral - they were interested in making sure I was a good fit and that I “could be a good, well-rounded consultant”.
All in all took maybe 2.5 weeks from first call to offer.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at KPMG in Mar 2021
Interview
Three interviews and the 2nd one is a case interview. Case interview are presentation to two managers. You present the case and got asked for every point you bring up . In general it is a very stressful interview.
