I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KPMG in Oct 2009
Interview
Before the day of the interview KPMG hosted a social and the students at my college got to meet our interviewer for the next day and a senior associate. It was pretty laid back and we all had the opportunity to talk to the staff.
The interview itself was laid back and fairly brief, only lasting 20 minutes or so. All the questions were behavioral, but none were pointed or that challenging.

It tests your patience mainly, in addition to the accounting and finance knowledge. Best to get prepared by reading some F3 and F7 papers. Wear professional, be there at least 10 minutes early. Talk smoothly
