Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
I applied on the college career center website. And then, you get an invitation to pre-interview night before the day before the interview date. After that, 1st round interview -> 2nd round interview (superday)
THe pre interview night is pretty fun.
the interview is mostly behavioral questions. They asked about team work and classes.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took a day)
Didn't take much time from sending CV to getting response from the company. Took around one week and a half between posting CV and taking an interview.
Interview itself is not stressful. Wasn't asked any tricky questions, mostly about previous experience and personal preference at work.
Didn't get ithe job only becouse they didn't found and internship program for 2 months.
All programs they have are for 3 month only.
Like to ask about desired income and how one sees working in the company (team dream and boss type)

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2 days)
I started off with a phone interview with the manager, which is straightforward if you prepare in advance. I was then called to the office where I met with the manager, and several other staff members, and also went to lunch with some of the associates. The format was structured but there was definitely room for me to ask my own questions and try and turn the interview into more of a conversation.
Overall, be yourself and don't take it too seriously. Do not sound rehearsed, bring some passion into your answers and it will show.
I was impressed with the team and work environment - they were welcoming and friendly and I knew I was hoping for a positive outcome.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 3 days)
It's pretty much like what it is in other three Big Fours, except thar the tests of KPMG are more difficult. They require people to be outstanding if you want to get in. The working environment is bad for interns, they sometimes do not have places to sit.

The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Presentation and a Skills Test.

Interviewed May 2011 in New York, NY (took 3 days)
First interviewed at my school's campus for the Discover KPMG program in New York City. Was really laid back and was a great experience. Then I attended the Discover KPMG program in NYC for 3 days. during this time we were interviewed, but also got to spend a day on site with a client, which was a great experience. Interview was, again, very laid back. Great overall experience and a I received an offer the following day.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
I arrived at the office, met with a greeter, and had two interviews. Each was with a partner, both of whom were incredibly nice and friendly. Both were very welcoming, and both were very behavioral based interviews. They asked questions about my resume, and activities. I went to lunch with some of the tax professionals, from first year associates to seniors - all of whom were amazing, and I could definitely see myself working with.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
