Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
Submitted my resume and cover letter through my University's career page. Received an e-mail a week later from HR directing me to KPMG's website to fill out an on-line application. I was called a few days later to schedule an on-campus interview. A week later, I was interviewed 1:1 by a Senior Manager on campus. I was asked typical behavioral questions. I was told that I would hear back about their decision from within 2 weeks and got a generic rejection email 2.5 weeks later.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Orlando, FL (took 2 days)
I met with their recruiters on campus, and received an invitation to an on-campus interview and a pre-interview social the night before. The on-campus interview was mostly just a conversation and discussion of my resume. After that, I received an invite to an office visit (the "Inside Look"). The office visit consisted of a dinner/meet and greet, then multiple interviews the next day with various managers and partners. The interviews were largely just conversations more than anything.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
Applied online through my schools career site for a summer audit internship. Had an on campus interview about 2 weeks after the deadline. Pretty basic interview. Just asked questions about my resume and almost no behavioral questions. Interview was very friendly and easy to have a conversation with. Ended up not getting a second interview but still an ok experience.

Get the interview through the U. They held info sessions at my school and I got a very good exposure at that time. First round is at school and second is a office site visit. The interview questions are pretty covered in the glassdoor.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in San Diego, CA (took 1 week)
Applied online, took about 2 months to get contacted, spoke to a recruiter from San Francisco about my interests, previous background, expectations in salary, etc...
Received a phone call a couple of days later inviting me into the San Diego office for an in-person interview with the Partner and Manager. Was more conversational than anything; felt a good vibe and could sense the culture in the office was the same.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Mountain View, CA (took a day)
It was a whole day event, from 8am to 5pm. It started with breakfast and time to spend with several staff and one partner. They prepared a presentation on KPMG. Later we had group activities where we played "audit procedure" and "inventory audit", interviewed with a manager and a partner. Tour of the office. Another presentation, then dinner.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
The entire process was very well structured. There are 2 stages to the interview: one is on campus and the other is an all expense paid on site visit. Communications are very prompt. The on-site visit consist of two interviews, a tour of the facilities, and lunch. Everyone i met were extremely friendly and positive, this includes senior managers. The campus recruiter took us out for dinner after the offers came out so he could answer any additional questions that we may have and just to hang out with us. The logistics for the on-site visit are well managed with an online booking system that lets you book flights in under 5 minutes. The hotel was very close to the office (literally 5 minutes away). One can tell that they genuinely care about the potential candidates and the employees in that in the wealth of information packets they gave out, there are information for where to find good housing options and tips on where to enjoy yourself in NYC.

Interviewed Dec 2009 (took 2 weeks)
I was contacted by a KPMG recruiter who found my resume on Monster.com. As I was coming from a different industry, I didn't know what KPMG was. She asked if I would be interested and sent to me the job description. I had a phone interview with the recruiter, then with a marketing director. Then I had an in-person interview with the partner who I would be supporting. This partner cannot seem to make up his mind, and sends me back to meet with two of his colleagues (in marketing and business development). THEN he requests I meet with one of my future colleagues in another office. I should have known what it would have been like working there after having to keep coming back to interview after interview!
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I was laid off from a previous job so I did not think I had any room to negotiate. I had an idea how much the job paid because I asked the partner for the range (after coming in repeatedly for interviews!). I asked for the high amount in the range, and apparently the partner did not know what he was talking about because I could have asked for more! The recruiter had said to me that she was in a good mood, but because I was not working, I did not feel like I could have went up much more. My mistake! I think most positions have a $10-20K range difference, and I wish I asked for more since salary increases were minimal after that!
