I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KPMG (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2013
Interview
Interview was obtained through a scholarship program guaranteeing two interviews with large accounting firms. KPMG presented for us during the leadership program and it was actually the same presentation as one presented earlier by Deloitte. It made the company look bad and unprepared honestly. The lady who interviewed me was quite strange. One question she asked me was, "Why choose KPMG? Do you prefer us over the other Big Four?" And she drilled me on that.

The interview was very efficient in communication.
