All the interviews that I had were very relaxed, not a lot of "What would you do in X situation, tell me about a time you solved a conflict" type questions. The people interviewing you are far more likely to ask things like "Why accounting, why SALT, what are you general interests career-wise." You spend a lot of time with your team, so just as important as your work skills is being able to stand being around those people for long work hours.
