Very friendly but still formal. Was interviewed by two people and asked a variety of behavioral questions alongside questions about the key values of KPMG. Also got to ask questions at the end.

Application
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at KPMG (Sydney) in May 2022
Interview
There were 4 stages to get through. After submitting your application, you shortly get asked to perform an online assessment. The online assessment was unlike any other assessment I have done - it was like playing fun math games online. Then I was asked to do a video interview. I had to answer 4 behavioural style questions - 1 minute to think and then about 1.5 minutes to answer. You could not re-record your answer. Once you pass this stage, I received an invitation to attend the Launchpad. Because of covid, there was no case study this year so I just had a Teams meeting with two people from the service line I applied for and answered some behavioural style questions. My interview was quite relaxed, it felt more like a conversation and they were pretty nice - lasted about 25 minutes. You also get some time to ask them some questions at the end. I regularly received updates from grad recruiting so the whole process was smooth and easy to understand.
