Interview
For entry-level position of Audit Associate right out of college: I had 2 30-minute interviews, one with a Manager and one with a Senior Manager, both in Audit. Half of the the interview was behavioral questions (tell me about a time you xyz...) and the other half was conversational/opportunity to ask questions back. Interview is easy if you have previous internship experience but can be a little harder if you are going in with no experience at all.
