Two interviews both chill. First one the guy had me walk through my resume then we chatted about why tax for like 20 minutes. Second was more structured but still conversational. Questions about strengths and weaknesses and it was the least stressful interview I did this cycle

The Hirevue then a live case with a manager. Case was about a bank automating loan approvals. Had to think through tech options and the change management side. Behavioral after was short.

Video interview with timed questions first then a call with a senior person, personality based questions like why KPMG and do you have previous customer experience. Used the STAR method for everything, generic overall nothing memorable.

Networking dinner the night before. Two interviews, one resume deep dive and one where they asked what an audit opinion means and when you'd issue a qualified one. More technical than typical Big 4.

They asked why tax specifically not audit and I hadn't thought through that distinction clearly. First round was relaxed, second was behavioral and situational format. Process was smooth but my answer on that one question clearly wasn't strong enough.
