Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
Participated in on campus recruiting and secured an interview. Two rounds, one on campus, another at the office, two interviews per round. The partner interviews were a little tough but if you make it that far, it seems they are a little more lenient with acceptable answers. All the big four firms have multiple meet and greet events, definitely attend all. If nothing else, it will let you get a feel for the office culture.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Pittsburgh, PA (took 2 weeks)
It was an overall good experience. Many opportunities to talk with the people that work there and find out what the culture is all about. Also very welcoming environment. Seemed like they really wanted you to be there. That was at least my impression.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 2 days)
I applied online and had to undertake a few reasoning tests. The online application wasn't as detailed as I thought it would be. It asked for my previous experience and college results. I completed that and also had to submit a CV and cover letter before being asked to undertake the reasoning tests. I had my interview in March and interned there for the past summer. The office atmosphere was very friendly.

It was a basic 30 minute interview through Campus Recruiting. The guy was very nice, asked some good questions and was over all friendly. Basic questions about myself and my resume, but overall they were behavioral questions.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
I applied through my campus career services. I had an on-campus interview with an HR person, and it was purely behavioral with just going through your resume. As long as you know your resume, you will be fine. Also have some questions prepared before hand so it shows that you are proactive. The second round interview was with a partner and it was exactly the same thing. It was very easy.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 2 days)
The first interview was at my university with a campus recruiter. It was a 30min conversation. Behavioral type of questions: Tell me about the situation when you did more than your team expected from you; tell me about how you had to say something unpleasant to your coworker or criticize him/her; how do you stay organized; Why did you decide on accounting program in this University; in a team do you prefer to be a leader or not; would you prefer to be a member of a winning team or a leader of losing team….
Then there was an office visit/interview with a couple of presentations. The office visit included two 45min. interviews. Both interviews, with a partner and a manager, test your professional interest in accounting industry. interviewers asked about the previous internship experience, about my duties/responsibilities, how I helped to improve something, what I've learned, what kind of software I used.... It really helps to have some good questions to ask your interviewrs. I asked about some of the current industry trends and new developments ( I read about them beforehand)

Interviewed Nov 2010 in New York, NY (took 3 days)
The interview was taken place at some big career forum which had been held for 3 days. I walked-in their booth and gave my resume. They told me to come back for an interview and I took it. It was 1:1 interview. I didn't make it to the next interview, but they would offer at least two more interviews during the career forum.
