I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at KPMG (Toronto, ON) in Sept 2008
Interview
As co-op students we had the opportunity to attend a couple of recruiting events held on and off campus. At these events we established connections and were then offered interviews via. our campus co-op service system. The interview process consisted of a pre-interview dinner and a 1:1 on interview with a partner. The interview was very informal. It was more like a chat than anything.

Question 1
N/A (there were no specific questions, it was just like a chat)
Behavioural questions. Not any technical questions for entry staff accountant role. Very conversational based type of interview. Interviewed with manager and a partner. Tell me about yourself, why audit, why kpmg, etc.
There are two 30 mins (total 1 hour) back to back interview person interview with a manager and a partner. The result is provided within the week usually after 1 day
Pretty easy interview process, you talk to a manager for 30min then another 30min back to back with the partner. No technicals. Just some behavioral questions and the partner interview is very laid back and straightforward.
