I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at KPMG (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2009
Interview
I was chosen to participate in their summer leadership program in the summer after my sophomore year. In the following fall, I applied for on campus interviews and was selected. I was interviewed by a Senior Audit Manager and attended a pre-interview social. I was then chosen to move on to second round interviews. KPMG is different than the other Big 4 members since they do their second round interviews on campus. A partner came to interview me on campus. The interview was very laid back. All they wanted to know was if you would be a good fit in their office. They are not looking for super smart accountants, just people with personalities and that they wouldn't mind being around every day. A few weeks after my second round interview I received an offer.

Question 1
How did you become interested in accounting and why do you want to pursue a career in this field?
Das Vorstellungsgespräch fand online statt und war sehr persönlich sowie angenehm. Neben Fragen zu meinem Werdegang wurden mir auch ein bis zwei grundlegende Fragen aus dem Audit-Bereich gestellt die aber nicht zu schwer waren.
