I applied through university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Boston, MA) in Nov 2010
Interview
I applied to KPMG through the college career connection site, then was offered the first round of interview. The interview as with the recruiter from HR department and was mostly bahaviour. It was very casual and was more like a conversation than an interview. I've waited about a week and a half, then got called in for on-site interview. The visiting day at the office was wonderful. The interview was with the Audit Senior Manager. Once again, the interview was very casual and mostly behaviour. I waited about 2 weeks and got a phone call.

It tests your patience mainly, in addition to the accounting and finance knowledge. Best to get prepared by reading some F3 and F7 papers. Wear professional, be there at least 10 minutes early. Talk smoothly
