I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG in Nov 2008
Interview
We had an on-campus interview that was pretty straightforward, just trying to get a feel for personality. Then it was straight through to the super-day in NYC, where we had 3 interviews, several panels to which we could pose questions, and a happy-hour/speed-recruiting event that was a lot of fun.
Consisted of only behavioral questions, 2 30 minutes interviews with senior manager and partner. More of a conversation style, but will ask more behavioral as follow-ups to answers. Very friendly, not difficult if prepared well
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you felt your voice was not being recognized
Two 30-minute interviews back to back. One behavioral, one technical. Both had an authentic conversational tone. Both interviewers were experienced professionals in the practice I applied for. The technical questions were directly related to the experience I outlined.

Interview
2 interviews - one with Sr. Manager and another with Managing Director. All behavioral questions around academic background and previous work experience. maybe one technical question but likely not anything difficult. high level normal questions - why this group, why the firm, what's your elevator pitch
