I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KPMG (New York, NY) in Feb 2010
Interview
The company came to our university for a job fair, where I met a few KPMG recruiters personally, and I applied through the career center within the university with a cover letter and my resume'. I was offered an interview, which was decently extensive, lasting about 30-40 minutes. I received a call about 2 weeks later from one of the recruiters who had both been on campus for the job fair as well as the interview process, inviting me to join the KPMG team. Advice I would offer: make sure to have a few questions of your own to ask them, and be personable, as they are looking for TEAM members, and not just busy bee workers.

Question 1
Explain a time when you had overcome an obstacle with a team. Maybe a team member wasn't do their share of the work; how did you go about responding and overcoming.
Are you more of a follower, or a leader? If you're more of a follower or better as just a team-player as opposed to taking the lead, what would you do if you were put in a group, (whether at work or in school), where no one was a leader? If you're more of a leader, what would you do if you were put in a group with another leader?
The interviewer began by explaining the team, its responsibilities, the projects they were working on, and the overall team culture. They also briefly described what they were looking for in a candidate and what it would be like to work on the team. Most of the interview focused on behavioral questions rather than technical ones, with follow-up questions to better understand my past experiences and decision-making process.

Question 1
It has been about two years since my interview, so I do not remember the specific questions. But I remember that the behavioral questions felt a bit more serious than in my other interview experiences. My interviewer had a very calm and serious demeanor, which may have contributed to that impression. Based on conversations with others, the experience seems to vary depending on the interviewer you are assigned.
