I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Grant Thornton in Apr 2010
Interview
Interview supposed to be with both partners, but unfortunately one of them was out of town, so I didn't get to meet him. The one who interviewed me was actually very pleasant, easy to talk to, didn't try to make it difficult. I wasn't nervous at all. In the end there was a short questionnaire. Couple of days after interview HR guy emailed me that I wasn't successful, but no explanation as to why. Interview was OK, but outcome not so OK ;o))
