Interview
Started with an HR call from montreal contacting me, and scheduling an interview for the following week. I had two back to-back panel interviews with members of the hiring team. Very basic questions, why financial analyst, why KPMG, tell me about a time... Next, I was invited to the final round of interviews which required a bit more technical, i.e dissecting financial statments, valuing a company, what should you look to find in company X. Overall, a great experience and learned a lot along the way. All interviewers in the company were respectful and kind.
