Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 2 months)
Applied via SMS, got invited to a group interview where we were tasked with different activities in groups with people assessing us. After group interview did online tests on maths, language and personality. Never got the results, but after this only a select group continued. Got invited to first 1 on 1 interview with HR department where the questions was more general regarding your expectations and company culture, then had a partner interview regarding the job itself to allign what you expected with what you will be doing before the offer was made.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
Met with a manager and a managing director. Managing director appeared to be hyped up on something and edgy. Very hard to follow. Would not have worked for him if offered the position. HR appeared to be scrabbling and added a third interviewer in last minute which appeared to throw off the schedule. Not very well organized and did not leave a position impression of the company. Also, they continued to try and sell me on how KPMG has audit and tax relationships with companies so it is easy for them to move into the advisory consulting space with the same clients. This did not seem to be the case in practice for them and was not a logical sell.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 3 days)
Applied for the job online and within a few hours I was contacted by the company. Conducted a phone interview first with an HR rep who was very helpful and friendly. She had no problem answering all my questions It was very professional and she really did a good job selling the company. The rest of the process was pretty standard.

Interviewed Dec 2008 in Melbourne (Australia) (took 2 days)
Overall the process was quite simple. The first stage comprised of an IQ test and a written component. The written component required the candidate to review 20 documents (e.g. emails, contracts etc.) and to draft an email to the Partner in charge explaining the situation, the potential issues and possible solutions. This was to be done within 45 mins (some candidates found the time limit challenging). The second stage was an interview with the partner. I found it ok, not particularly difficult, in that i was not being grilled.
