I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (Hong Kong) in Sep 2014
Interview
Group interview, followed by HR interview, followed by Partner Interview. Very standard within the accounting industry. Although Hong Kong is particularly competitive even outside of Big 4 firms. The group interview question was particularly tough because it was asking about the current political situation in Hong Kong. Everyone was asked to give their opinion and join in a group conversation. It would be difficult to participate if you do not keep up with current events or your general knowledge is not broad enough.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Please comment on the current Political situation of Hong Kong and give us your thoughts and opinions.

It came in campus placement of my college. It had two rounds of online interviews where the second round was just a formality, they just wanted to confirm if you are comfortable doing audit job.
I attended an interview with Grant Thornton where the questions were mostly basic, focusing on fundamental concepts, my articleship experience, and general understanding rather than any advanced or technical areas
