Interviewed Sep 2009 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 days)
E&Y did on campus interviews at my school. They had a dinner and presentation the night before formal interviews on campus. The formal interview consisted of behavioral type questions with a manager. I was interviewing for an intern position in their Risk Advisory services. In the end I was told I did not receive an offer because my background is in finance and leadership had decided they only wanted to hire accounting majors. Overall it was a good interviewing experience.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
Very well planned, interviewers know what side are going tackle each. 3 interviews in a row withough a break was tough. Interview was productiive. Very behavioral, could have entered into more technical details, which makes me wonder how interested they are in your past experience or specific knowledge of what your resume says. Interviewers are very very responsive and interested in sharing what EY stands for.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Boston, MA (took 1+ week)
It was extremely easy-going and laid-back. A lot of behavioural questions and background questions - how would your best friend describe you? etc. Not as many questions about your resume, but make sure you present a solid front. The interviewer was deceptively friendly and led me to not-so-positive comments, so MAKE SURE you always stay positive - this is key! They want amiable, positive, friendly, and people who they can easily integrate into their community.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 3 days)
It was a very detailed process. They treated me well, put me up in a hotel. It was not an easy interview, lots of technical questions, seems like they would work staff very hard but what do you expect from big 4. I decided to go with another firm after all was said and done.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Boston, MA (took 4+ weeks)
First event was a pre-interview social night at the EY office. Next day I had my first interview, one-on-one on campus with a partner. The partner practically told me I would be getting a second round interview at the end, but I didn't officially hear until a few days later. In a few weeks, I went back to the office for the second round. There were a bunch of other candidates there and we each had two interviews. Both mine were with managers. We went out to lunch with other candidates and EY auditors early in their career. There was also a "team-building" or "ice-breaking" exercise at the beginning of the day. I heard back after they had completed their second round of interviews.
Negotiation Details
No negotiation, everyone gets the same salary.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Los Angeles, CA (took 3 weeks)
The interview process was two step. There was a quick interview on campus, which did not last very long...only about 30 minutes. Mostly behavioral.
The second round in office was longer, 8am-3pm. THe questions were mostly behavioral and resume based, although they were a bit tougher. The work culture seems to be very diligent, but people are nice and friendly.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in San Jose, CA (took 3 days)
The interview process is long and drawn out. Not just for EY but for all of the Big 4 accounting firms. You jump through their hoops, you go to the socials, you're told how amazing you are, and then you get an email after weeks of effort saying "sorry, we don't want you" It's really a disheartening process. If you make it past the first round of interviews then you're treated quite well. I was flown out to the location and given an office tour and met quite a few people. I really like the general attitude of the people who were in the office.

Negotiation Details
There really wasn't a negotiation phase because I only have the one offer. I worry that others are getting paid more because they have better offers to fight for.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
I got the interview through campus recruiting. I had the dinner with the interviewer and other applicants the night before interview. The seats were assigned already. It was just casual talk, and there was one employee from E&Y for each table. Not much to prepare for. In the second day, the interviewer, a partner from E&Y, asked most questions about the resume and a couple questions about the behaviors. The behavior question were important. I think I did not get into the second round because of them.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
I submitted my application through my school website. Later, I got an email stating that I was selected for an interview. The interview was on campus. The recruiter put me at ease immediately when I went into the room. I was very relaxed and we talked about some of my study habits etc to get to know me better. Then we moved on to team work situations, basically to scope out how I might act in a team etc. The people were generally friendly and relaxed and the recruiter treated you like a friend instead of an interviewee. Overall, I had a great impression of the firm, especially after hearing about the recruiter's experiences there.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
I wasn't really prepared for this interview. I had the interview right after my midterm week, so I didn't have much time to do the research. I was interviewed by the Senior Manager of the Assurance and Advisory Business Services. He only asked 3 basic questions, and basically let me talk about myself for the whole interview. I should have prepared more and done better. He was really nice and explained a lot about the business. The interview lasted about 30 minutes.
