I applied online. I interviewed at KPMG (Leeds, England) in Nov 2018
Interview
I went to KPMG LaunchPad in November 2018 for their 2019 intake. It was a quite fun AC compared with other companies, but it is hard to stand out from more than 200 people there. Group exercise was not hard, more about behaviours. Interview with seniors may not as good as other companies as they were blind screening, did not look through CVs, so it is quite hard to get all your CV contents smoothly in their questions. The final report was ok, contents not hard, but time limit is quite tight.

Interview
1st round: aptitude test
2nd round: group and manager interview
A group of 6 was given a case study with 15mins preparation time. The case was about to choose one of the three companies which has the most business opportunities. Beware there'd be a lots of information to go through. The discussion time was about 20mins. After that, you'd be invited to meet the manager one by one. The questions were mostly CV-based.
3rd round: partner interview
You'll be meeting the partner individually. The questions were behavioural and some related to their company. The process took about 30 mins.
