I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at KPMG (Sydney) in May 2016
Interview
Was interviewed by a senior manager and a director, both of whom were very friendly and made the whole process extremely enjoyable. The interview was split 50/50 between me talking, and them talking (in particular about their role in the company etc.).
Questions were some behavioural, plus some questions related to my resume, plus them seeing how much I knew about the company and their particular service line.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at KPMG (Singapore)
Interview
After submitting my CV, there was a virtual interview and they asked a market sizing question + why I wanted to join the specific department. They also asked about stuff in my CV and it was overall pretty manageable, they don't expect you to know much as an intern.
My interview process went smoothly and required little to no preparation. The questions were all general in nature and were just an overview of my resume. Very low stress interview process.
It was an hour long with 2 hiring manager and HR. Whole process was like one round to offer. This spanned around 2 weeks in total from HR reach out to offer letter.
