I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (Calcuta) in Feb 2016
Interview
Got a call through the consultancy. First round was Group Discussion. The topic was "Are reality shows really real ?".
The next round was Technical. Typical Questions for a Chartered Accountant. The interviewer was friendly and encouraging.But he was asking a lot of in-built technical questions which are difficult to remember.
Another problem was the mis-communication of the job location. The recruitment agency told me it would be Kolkata, but on reaching there I found that it was Bangalore or Gurgaon. The pay scale for the same was not very encouraging.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
The process was very extensive. I was initially contacted by a recruiter in Chicago, who conducted an initial phone interview. Next, I met in person with the Marketing Director. After that, I came in to meet with the marketing team, all of whom were straightforward and very easy to talk to. Finally, I came in again to meet with the Managing Partner. The process took a long time, as they were being very selective about getting the perfect candidate into the position. Ultimately, the position was awarded to an internal candidate, but I was able to expand my network, and it was a very positive experience.

Interview
I had a video interview where they asked the usual behavioural questions and questions where you just had to talk about yourself. How have you showed a certain quality through your experience etc.
