Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2 months)
Communication was brisk and helpful. Had two face-to-face interviews. Organisation of these was somewhat lacking, however. Was not given much choice as regards to dates and times which is disappointing considering how large the firm is. Furthermore, at both of the interviews, the people interviewing me were late. Nevertheless, this is understandable given the nature of the work.
Office was absolutely gorgeous - airy, modern and simple decor which I found help me concentrate. Reception and greeting staff were friendly and helpful, offering me a drink while I waited.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 months)
I applied for an Audit placement position. Application process was quite long: I applied in November, got the interview in January. Office was really nice, interviewer was nice. However, I didn't get through the first round interview.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took 2 months)
Standard quantitative and verbal reasoning assessments followed a competency-heavy application. First round interviews are held at the office one applies to, and are on a one-to-one basis. There is very little discussion beyond the regimented competency questions, which closely match the stated company values on the website and in application materials. In each case, two detailed examples were required from the last three years, to demonstrate the competency. This was strictly adhered to, and while it's possible to stretch the truth, you have got to go in with your evidence prepared. I was quite thrown by the need for two in each case, and couldn't offer a decent example on at least one occasion. Not getting through this round, I can only comment on culture from contact with my interviewer and hearsay from peers now with the firm. People are perhaps more severe than at other Big Four firms, and expect the strongest results. Those who do not pass their exams on first attempt can find themselves hard up, or may be let go. This was the hardest of my accountancy interviews.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took a day)
The interview basically covers questions like describe myself and my understanding of audit,accounting as well as KPMG. As an audit associate, there are not much "outstanding" characters KPMG is looking for. It prefers team player and those who can easily get into its corporate culture.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
The interview process was very laid back and relaxed. I interviewed with a senior manager first on my college's campus, and it consisted mostly of behavioral questions. Found out the next day that I was advancing to the next round, which consisted of a 'superday' where I met and networked with partners, etc. Some additional interviews, offered a position later that day.
