I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KPMG (San Francisco, CA) in May 2011
Interview
Interviewed with two partners and a manager. All behavioral. Coming from a top school, networking into an interview was not that difficult. Had a tour of the facilities and was accompanied to lunch by two Associates. Met with a recruiter to wrap up the four hour affair, and now patiently waiting for an offer.
The process took 2 days. I interviewed at KPMG in Jun 2011
Interview
First round consisted of one on one interview, In house consisted of 3 one on one interviews, a group/team building exercise with the other candidates, and a meal with a first or second year associate to finish up.
Interviews consisted of a lot of behavior questions focusing on teams, dealing with conflicts, leadership skills, etc. With regard to the group exercise, they give the team a collective problem to solve and observe the team/individuals as they work towards a solution.
Relative to other Big 4 a lot more interaction and they try to present their firm as a more "fun" oriented company.
