I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at KPMG (Philadelphia, PA) in Dec 2009
Interview
Got the opportunity thru a three day externship program. Spent 2 days working with an audit team in the field and the 3rd day is the interview. There was no hard question during the interview. Offer came about a week later. Overall it was a very smooth and pleasant experience.
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
