I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KPMG (Leeds, England) in Nov 2016
Interview
Partner Interview lasted 20 minutes. Very relaxed one to one interview with a senior representative of the company. She will take notes as you talk. Questions are about the company, role and KPMG's behavioural capabilities. Keep the company values in the back of your mind throughout the interview. Prepare real-life examples based on each behavioral capabilty and you will rock the interview

Question 1
Why KPMG? Why Audit? Tell me an example when you delivered high quality work?
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2013
Interview
The recruiting team is very active on campus. They will come once or twice a month to hold dinners/cocktail recruiting events. Current employees at all levels join as well as several current accounting students who have accepted offers. It gives you a great chance to discover the personality of employees you might be working with. A one on one interview lasting thirty minutes takes places after your resume is approved. Very straightforward. Essentially looking for personality types that will fit their group.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KPMG (Cape Town) in Aug 2016
Interview
It was a very relaxed interview which was different from the other interviews I've been to with other audit firms. One-on-one interview at the office, but I still felt comfortable in that environment. A few challenging questions but otherwise it was all fine, just ensure that you are confident and that you look presentable.
