Sounds like it, doesn't it?
I know that assessment centres at KPMG are still running up to 3rd September. Maybe even beyond?

That's a lot of assessments/interviews.

That might be how they're doing it in Sydney, but I think for the Melbourne firm they are splitting it into two stages:

1. Assessment Day - Written Task / Interview with Senior Manager / Group Task

2. Follow up interview with Partner

What was the process for you guys in Sydney?

In Sydney they did the entire thing together.

The interview was with a partner, as well as senior managers together (in my case). So I had 3 people (a partner, and two senior managers) in the one interview for about an hour or so.

Three interviews on the one day sounds like a gruelling process. I hope they gave you a break to relax cos I'd find what whole day (Interviews, Group Task, Written Exercise) incredibly draining.

It was just the 1 single interview, but with 3 different people at the same time asking questions.

The other divisions (tax, audit) had 2 interviewers. For some reason they threw one more into advisory which was fine with me.

We had breaks in between the three tasks (writing task, group presentations, partner interviews). The whole day ran for 5 hours and we had lunch thrown in, lots of tiny breaks etc... it was a great day! :)
