I applied through college or university. I interviewed at KPMG (Singapore) in Jul 2017
Interview
Online application via campus recruitment. Completed online test and shortlisted for an onsite interview. Approximate waiting time of 1 month between initial application and interview shortlist. Interviewed with an Associate Director. Interviewer mostly spoke about himself and his career. Extremely critical and somewhat rude in response to all that I said. Was provided an expected deadline to respond to a potential offer. However, 2 weeks past the deadline, no offer/rejection was given and follow-up emails have not been replied to. Would appreciate some degree of follow-up from the company.

Question 1
Most challenging part of the interview was the market sizing question. "How many lightbulbs are there in the country?"
first round with consultant and senior consultant, multiple mini cases and behavioural questions
very quick to move to second round
second round with senior manager, case presentation etc
slow response time after second round
A few interview rounds with a mix of case interview and behavioral. Something you expect from a big 4/consulting case interview round. Prepare good enough and you'll be fine. Research case interview best practices and company background.
Overall very good. They ask a lot of questions and if you are able to answer them well then you can get in! My recommendation is to focus on being you and communicating your truth as clearly as possible.
