I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Eide Bailly
Interview
I had an initial phone interview and was then invited out for an in person interview. They asked me to be there for a pre-interview social and then a four hour long interview later in the week. Everyone I met was very nice and friendly. The main downside for a college student is that they do not help to pay for your travel expenses to the second round interviews if you are out of town.
I also had trouble following up. I was supposed to hear back from them when the next Friday with an answer. I did not hear anything so I called to follow up the next Monday, I still did not get an answer. I emailed the following Wednesday and finally received a response the next day, two and a half weeks after when they said they would let me know. Overall, the people are easy to talk to and it seems like they have a good work environment once you get hired, but for me the recruiting process was not positive.

Very efficient and straight forward process. The interviewers were very relaxed and didn’t make the interview a stressful experience. I was given an offer soon after so there wasn’t a long waiting time.
