I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at KPMG (Mumbai) in Dec 2015
Interview
I applied through a recruiting firm, a senior recruiter from the firm did the first round of screening and find my profile suitable for the role. They submitted my profile to KPMG.
After following up to find out about the recruiting process I found out that KPMG have only shortlisted people form IIM A,B and C.
I have an MBA from leading Ivey league global business school and years of expecting with global MNCs. I was under the impression that global consulting firms like KPMG would be more open and rational in their recruiting process, but because of such shortsighted and somewhat biased screening process that they have, they are missing out big time on people like myself and others who could add lot more value to their clients and organization.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at KPMG (München, Bavaria) in May 2011
Interview
Das Verhalten der Vorgesetzten ist natürlich sehr personenspezifisch. In den letzten Jahren hat sich viel verändert. Beratung und Prüfung hängen nun mal sehr von den Mitarbeitern ab. Dies ist den Führungskräften bewusst und die Mitarbeiterzufriedenheit ist ein wichtiger Faktor für Führungskräfte. Aber Führung bedeutet auch (und gerade in einer Firma mit einem Anspruch wie KPMG), dass man es nicht allen Recht machen kann.
