You usually start working on just one type of return. They're not going to have you work on a complex consolidated return one week, expat returns for a few days, then passthroughs for two weeks. It doesn't make sense. Ask at the interview what you'll be doing. I'm guessing you're relatively new to tax, so you'll be preparing returns. A senior or manager will likely do a first review, and send it back for you to make changes. Once they're satisfied, someone higher up may do a top level review. Again, something to ask about. It'll vary by complexity.
KPMG cultures varies a LOT by whoever the leader of the group is. I've seen groups that were happy as clams, while the team next to them looked like they were considering a suicide pact.
