Interviewed Jan 2012 in Montvale, NJ (took 4 weeks)
Was contacted by the recruiter and asked to set up an initial phone screen. The phone screen consisted on some basic OOPs and SQL concepts. The recruiter set up a technical 1:1 phone interview. Was contacted a week later saying that they wanted me to come by their Montvale, NJ office for two 1:3 panel interviews. The first interview was okay with some basic and some advanced ASP.NET and SQL Server and general Computer Science questions. The second interview was much more technically challenging. The questions ranged from general Computer Science concepts to very specific ASP.NET architecture.
I knew from the second interview that I had slim chances of getting through. Was told a couple of weeks later by the recruiter (by phone) that they're going with some other candidate.

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 Oct 2011 (took a day)
I applied through campus recruiting. Filled out application online and received notice of an interview request from them through my school's career website. After scheduling my interview I received an invitation to a Pre-Interview Event. The event was business casual and I got to meet my interviewer along with other KPMG employees; snacks and refreshments were provided.
The interview process is a typical HR round. They asked questions about my resume, work experience, education and such. Also there were two behavioral questions about team experience. Very basic stuff.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 5 weeks)
Initial approach was through Linkedin, followed by submission of my CV which also provides access to my Linkedin profile. This was followed by an introductory meeting with the hiring manager plus subsequent introductions to two senior partners - one of which by phone.
Overall, the process was very positive especially as the hiring manager continued to be open for additional queries - whether content-related or questions about package and work environment. The firm wouldn't have put in this effort if it weren't sincerely interested, but I thoroughly appreciate what lengths each individual went through.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Over time, the focus of the proposed position seemed to change and vary depending whom I spoke with. Similarly, The key driver for hiring appeared to be to replace someone quickly to -I can only assume- address client concerns.
Unfortunately, this did not prove an appropriate level of confidence as to what challenges I would be facing.
