I have a loop coming up for a Data & Analytics Senior Associate role at KPMG. Would really appreciate recent data points from anyone who's been through advisory, tech consulting, or the D&A practice specifically.
Specifically curious about: how many rounds, and who's in each one how technical the technical screen actually is (SQL, Python, case-based, or just talking-about-your-work) whether they use competency cards or structured rubrics turnaround time after final round
Drop whatever you've got, even if it's just one data point. Anything more recent than 6 months is gold.

Did a data engineering role there about 8 months ago, so take with some grain of salt. Technical screen was a call with a manager, not a coding test. They asked me to walk through a pipeline I'd built, what I'd do differently, and how I'd handle a client whose data quality was a mess. No SQL on a whiteboard. Felt more like an experienced hire conversation than a traditional tech screen.

Not D&A but I interviewed for Financial Risk Management last year. 4 rounds: HireVue, recruiter call, manager panel, director close. No technical test per se but they asked me to walk through a quantitative project I'd owned, explain the methodology, and defend the assumptions. Very much "show your work on something real."

competency rubrics: yes, they have them. KPMG uses a structured behavioral framework. interviewers are trained to score on specific dimensions. if you can get them to nod along on 2-3 of the values (excellence, together, for better especially) you'll score well even if your individual answers aren't perfect.
