I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Andersen
Interview
The interview process started with OCI. WTAS sent an alumni to my school to interview a few students. He was exceptionally friendly and easy to talk to. After going through preliminary questions about my interest in tax, the rest of the interview was just a relaxed conversation. About three days later, I received a callback. Most of the interviewers were really friendly. The exception was the HR interviewer who had no idea which job I was interviewing for. These interviews were more about fit with the company than about substantive tax knowledge. However, you should be able to discuss why you want to work in tax.

Question 1
If two partners want you to work on a project at the same time, how would you respond?
I applied online. I interviewed at Andersen (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
First interview with HR, mostly getting to know you and confirming some resume things. The next two are with partners/managers, and the questions were more typical behavioral interview style. It was overall very seamless and not as rigid and impersonal as big 4 interviews which I appreciated. There was definitely a heavy emphasis on me asking questions to them as well.

Question 1
What skills and interests do you think you can bring to the office that will make a difference to our team?
It was over zoom , met with 3 members of the team ranging from manger to partner. Questions were technical to behavioral. There was a follow up interview after that brief.
First with phone interview around 30 minutes, mostly about behavioral questions. Second round interview with manager by zoom, takes around 1.5 hour. They are really nice overall and patient while answering questions.
