I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG in Mar 2009
Interview
Have a pre interview dinner the night before with all of the other applicants. No alcohol so it can be pretty painful to try and talk to people for a few hours that you have never met and know nothing about. The interview was very straightforward. All fit questions to make sure you complement the firms culture.
The interview process includes an application review, online assessments, recruiter screening, behavioral and technical interviews, and sometimes case studies or partner interviews, evaluating communication, problem-solving, technical knowledge, and cultural fit.
Smooth interview process that took only a week. The interval of the two interviews were short. Both the hiring manager and the Team Manager that interviewed me nice and approachable.
Easy going and straight foward a good combination between technical skills and behavioral question. Some of the queestion related to accounting and audit question and some related to our attitude
