Interviewed Mar 2010 in Dallas, TX (took 2 days)
They had a dinner at a nice restaurant with other applicants and current staff. I thought I carried myself well at the dinner. I asked about overtime requirements, and it seemed like they were a little worried I was asking about that. The next day I had a one on one interview which I thought went very well. I answered their questions, and felt like I had a good interaction but was not chosen. Overall it was a good experience and one I will learn from.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Dallas, TX (took 4 weeks)
Originally contacted by a recruiter. Had a phone screen with him and then another phone interview with a senior manager. I was then asked to come into the office for another round of interviews. In the office, I met with 3 other people (manager, senior manager, partner). The interviews in the office were much different than I expected. The were extremely nice which helped create a more relaxed atmosphere.
Negotiation Details
There wasn't much of a negotiating phase. The offer I received was fair.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Dallas, TX (took 2 weeks)
PROCESS
Interview consists of a Phone Screen, In person interview, and then an interview with a partner. In person Interview questions are 90% behavioral based with a few questions regarding your past experience and are conducted in a sequential panel in the following order: Sr.Manager, Experienced Advisory manager, Less Experienced Advisory Manager. Each panel interview lasts for approx 30 min, and the interviewers ask pre-formatted questions taking a few minutes to consult with the next interviewer into the room.
GENERAL OPINION-INFO
Interviewers are very approachable, intelligent, and friendly while maintaining a 0% intimidation factor. Expect to get vague descriptions of the scope of current projects and the contributions you will be expected to make. IT consultancy is well outside KPMGs core competency.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Common question asked repeatedly by all 3 panel interviews why you want to work for KPMG.
Describe a situation where you had a problem with a co-worker and how it was resolved?
How do you motivate people?
Tell me about a process that you implemented that improved revenue for your company?
How do you learn things?
How would you explain to a customer that they may be wrong?
ADVICE
Do your homework on KPMG and why you want to be there. Prepare to answer questions that are constructed to measure you behavioral response. Dress very professionally. Have some intelligent questions prepared for them when they ask if you have any questions. If interviewing for an IT Advisory role DO NOT sell any of your tech skills unless asked for details, as Sr level managers are completely non technical (and will tell you plainly, surprising for people who do IT consulting). Expect to get vague descriptions of the scope of current projects and the contributions you will be expected to make.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Dallas, TX (took 4+ weeks)
I was brought in by a partner, so my interview process was very abbreviated. I only spoke with one Senior Manager who didn't interview me but gave a description of the culture at KPMG. After that interview I had to wait a few weeks for the job offer because at the time KPMG was going from a regional model to a national model. I lived in a different region than the partner so my hire had to be approved.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Dallas, TX (took 1 week)
The hiring process was done very professionally. They were on top of everything and I was always kept in the loop. The hiring manager was always respectful and made things easier on me throughout the whole process. The interviewers were very positive and the questions were reasonable. They were behavioral questions that centered around team work, dealing with conflicts in teams, working with people, etc. There were also questions about what progress the interviewee is making toward their career goals right now.

Interviewed Jun 2008 in Dallas, TX (took 3 weeks)
Experienced versus new college hire goes through a different process, but as an experienced hire, contact a recruiter for the company. After an initial phone interview, the actual interview consisted of 3 consecutive interviews by senior managers. These are your potential senior management, so winning at least one over strongly on your side will help. The questions are typical for interviews, but they seem guided towards identifying team players with a history of success and aptitude to adapt to changing environments.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I have heard that KPMG is bad in terms of initial salaries comparatively. I was unable to increase my initial offer, but this will of course vary with demand for skill sets and timing in the economy. Specific IT skill sets and certifications would likely leverage potential negotiations.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Background Check.
