I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Larnaka) in Oct 2015
Interview
First, I needed to complete a 5-page application form. I was asked to fill up my personal details and to answer to some questions. Then I recieved a call, from the secretary for my interview day. I had an interview through skype and both of recruiters where very kind to me and they made me feel like i was talking to my friends.

Question 1
What skills would you like to develop within KPMG?
Quite a quick process from application to offer. Completed the standard online assessments and was invited for interviews shortly after. The launchpad (assessment centre) was a bit overwhelming but everyone was so chill and there was a lot of time to talk to other candidates and current KPMG employees. I had my offer two working days later.
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.
