I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Kroll (Detroit, MI) in Nov 2009
Interview
Applied through my college career website. Got both behavioral and technical questions.
For behavioral questions
1. Describe a time you had to make an ethical question that most people were against.
2. Talk about a time you gave a technical presentation
Technical Questions
1. How does the financial statements link together?
2. Describe terminal value
3. What is enterprise value
4. What is CAPM
I think it really depends who you are interviewing with. I had a senior associate and a director where both lack personalities and emotions... hope this helps!

Question 1
Describe a time you had to give a technical presentation to a group of people
Overall average interview including dcf and other valuation approaches focus including precedents and market multiples , overall capital markets knowledge might also be useful including knowledge about what kroll does
Multiple rounds, first phone interview. Then flown into office where we did interviews with some of the team members, then a case study with other interviewees and presented to the team and had lunch after. Later received a phone call.
