I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at KPMG (Tel Aviv-Yafo)
Interview
Overall an OK process. Asked a lot of questions about myself. Started with a standard phone call from HR, then a personal interview with the manager. A standardized test (shapes, language, math, etc.) followed. After, that was an exam at KPMG ( a bit of casing, excel skills, PowerPoint, etc.). Then, there was the final interview with the Head of the Risks department.
