I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at KPMG in Jun 2009
Interview
1st round - recruiter
2nd round - case study and skills (2 people for each round; lasted 2 hours)
3rd - partner round
Tested skills of how one deals with ambiguity, how quick one is with numbers (case study), motivation to join the firm and the particular practice. Sometimes quite blunt and aggressive mode of questioning.
Too long a process - several months perhaps due to market conditions last year.
Very different from usual interview style in other consulting firms.
What is said here shoulnt be considered to apply to all advisory practices within the firm. This was a little unique to say the least!
