I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at KPMG (New York, NY) in Nov 2009
Interview
Starts on campus with an optional (but obviously beneficial) informal social the night prior to interviews the next day. Interview is with a member of the group being applied to. Pretty straightforward and meant to gauge interest and to see if you're a capable individual. Nothing too hard. Next you travel to the office you're applying to for a few firm orientation presentations followed by two interviews with more senior individuals of the group. Again, very straightforward interviews - focused mainly on my previous internships and leadership on campus. Actually, I'm surprised at how little I was challenged throughout the process.
