I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at KPMG (Madrid) in Sep 2013
Interview
First I was invited to do three exams in their offices:
- Accounting test: 30 questions. No calculations, just general audit knowledge.
- English test: really easy.
- Practical case: a consulting case, not related to the job. Twelve potential issues that KPMG detects in a client, on which we should briefly offer solutions for eight of the issues.
Then an interview with a Senior Manager, on which basically they review your CV, go over it and you explain your motivation for the role. If things go well, you'll get to meet a partner.

Question 1

Smooth interview process that took only a week. The interval of the two interviews were short. Both the hiring manager and the Team Manager that interviewed me nice and approachable.
Easy going and straight foward a good combination between technical skills and behavioral question. Some of the queestion related to accounting and audit question and some related to our attitude
