Interviewed Aug 2010 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 months)
I went through 2 case studies with 2 associate directors. Both case studies where around profitability with a focus on operations. Both cases required quite a lot of calculus and where average difficulty. The last interview with the partner was typical fit to discuss salary and grade.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
Interview took place at Canary Wharf. Met with an associate director for a financial modelling test. It lasted one hour and required basic excel skills. This was quite easy but dull. Short conversation afterwards to explain thinking behind my solution. Associate Director seemed reasonably bright - a recent hire at KPMG having previously been at Deloitte. There followed an hour with the partner who demonstrated some bizarre behaviours. The partner's most revealing remark was contemptuously dismissive of the unfortunate associate director who had conveyed me to this session. It seemed a harsh way to behave in front of a complete stranger (ie me!) and certainly not the way to convince a complete stranger to come and work for her organisation. The following conversation was intriguing and we agreed that a further discussion would be worthwhile, but I knew that I couldn't work for this individual and, happily, I don't have to.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 days)
My interview process was split up into 2 days - group work and skills test on one day, and the partner presentation the following day. Group interview was not too difficult, we had to analyse the case and provide our solution. Basically, the company wanted to see that we can work in group, how we organise the discussion etc.. Skills test was on the computer - and given a limited time to complete the task I felt under a lot of time pressure. Partner interview felt relatively comfortable, the partner was quite laid-back and friendly. I got a rejection in the end - and according to the feedback I haven't performed well on the computer-based test.

For the internship it was only a E-tray Excercise,
Tips for the E-tray
First part - have an inbox with 24 emails and have to select the best option out of a choice of 4-5 options. I think you had 50 minutes for this.
1. Very quickly read through all the information and make sure you understand who is who. It helps prevent you from making silly mistakes
2. Accuracy is more important than speed in this exercise. That said make sure you that you do not leave more than 2 questions unanswered. And do not guess.
Second part - have an inbox with 2 emails and have to respond providing recommendations.
3. Spend no more than 5 minutes deciding what you want to do.
4. Spelling, Spelling, Spelling - do not make a mistake and ensure you check you emails for mistakes.
Interview Questions
