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)
I had a phone interview with a Senior Manager. About a month later, I received a call for second rounds, which consisted of three back-to-back interviews and lunch. The people at KPMG were very friendly, down-to-earth, and intelligent. I greatly enjoyed the interview process.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took a day)
Interviewer was really outgoing and made it feel like we were simply having a conversation. Asked me questions about teamwork, meeting deadlines, strengths/weaknesses, all expected mostly traditional interview questions.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Syracuse, NY (took a day)
The partner asked about my college experience mainly. He saked about my favourite classes and why I chose this college, what I paln to do after college and so on. No strange or hard questions. It took about 30 minutes. They need only 1 or 2 interns here out of several colleges.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
Way to long of a process. KPMG should do a shorter 2nd round interview process. Although you get a lot of information about the company, the 12 hour process feels dragged out. I would have preferred a shorter 2nd round interview, similar to the other big 4 firms.

The interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took a day)
Getting an interview was pretty easy as it was on a college campus. The recruiter was very friendly and helpful as far keeping me informed about the process, although it was clear he had favorites amongst the candidates. I interviewed for a summer leadership program( the actual title slips my mind), at this point I was a junior and they were looking for sophomores but interview experience is priceless so I did it anyway. I was interview by a partner in the firm and we had good conversation about the industry and leadership styles. Overall, it was an experience to say the least. I didn't get the offer but then again I didn't really expect to.

Interviewed May 2010 (took a day)
Very in depth questions. Must go into interview having studied common and complex interview questions and have answers ready and waiting. Tough question that surprised me was "Name a time when you received criticism and how did you deal with it?" other questions were talk about yourself and whats are your strengths and weaknesses.
