I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at KPMG (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2021
Interview
Long process with different partners in different regions. 4 rounds of interviews with different people. They were personable. Had to disclose income from former job as part of interview with HR which was different from what I had experience before which was salary expectations based on years of experience.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at KPMG (Leeds, England) in Oct 2024
Interview
First stage two-on-one followed by a presentation to a partner and director. Both a very open and constructive conversation. Presentation was scenario-based with a good grilling afterwards. Every interviewer was encouraging though pressed on details.

Some people have a case study but I did not.
The process can be very slow.
Helpful to have a contact to keep pressure on the recruiting / admin team.
