Applied through my school website, only needed my resume and got notified that I had received an interview. Had 1:1 interview on campus with a manager. There were also greeters (new hires from internship or last year recruiting) who helped us relax before our interview. Interview consisted of several behavioral questions back to back, not much room for conversations. Very difficult and challenging. But overall manager was great and easy to talk with and the people I met from the firm were great.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you dealt with difficult team member
I applied through on campus resume drop and was invited to a first round interview with a hiring manager. The interview was very conversational and my interviewer was mostly interested in the experiences on my résumé and experiences with leadership and teamwork. I heard back a week later about an office visit.

Tell me about a time you actively sought feedback to improve a process.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at KPMG (Los Angeles, CA) in Jul 2011
Interview
Went very smoothly. Calling directly and getting to know a recruiter is a great option for those that don't have campus recruiting available to them. Staff was very friendly and helpful with answering any question I asked. This was my first interview so I can't compare with others, but there wasn't too much pressure nor any question that stood out as silly. Interviewed with four people: a partner, two managers and a director.
