Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 3 weeks)
The first round was a simple one-to-one interview. I really liked my interviewee as she was really friendly. Only questions on my resume were asked, so it was pretty easy and there were no technical questions, nor even the common "Why E&Y" question. The Superday was held at the office where you specified your preference for. 2 one-to-one interviews, 1 case interview and 1 business writing portion. Overall, a good experience, and I liked everyone I spoke to. It's a casual environment, but still professional.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took a day)
Was referred to the company through somebody i know. They saw my CV and called me on my mobile. The phone interview was easy and very basic. They said that they would like to meet me. The meeting was setup for about a week later at a restaurant.
The director interviewed me at the restaurant. He asked about my past experience, experience about living in Saudi, etc.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
Interview consisted of an on-campus interview. Mostly behavioral based questions (have you ever worked in a group and a member was not cooperating, how did you solve this problem, etc.). The interview was with two campus recruiters although it was a 1:1 interview. 15 minutes with one recruiter, 15 minutes with the other recruiter. After networking with both the campus recruiters, the interview was very laid back and not stressful at all. If you study up on behavioral based questions and come in prepared with 4-5 stories, you will be set.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 months)
I applied to the EY through my university and began with a first round interview with a partner. The questions were pretty difficult. All behavior in regards to how I've handled past difficulties. I thought I did terribly but I was called back later that week with a second interview. My process took longer than average because I was applying for a position in a different state and how to wait for their interviews to begin. Overall the entire process was easy and the questions weren't too difficult or technical.

Interviewed Feb 2009 (took a day)
I applied through my school and got a call instantly. they asked me if i were interested in sales rep position. i said yes. then they gave me a date to interview.I was greeted by an employee who handed me an application and told me to sit in the conference room to wait for the manager to interview me. To my surprise, 3 other people filed in with their own applications and then the manager finally came in. We listened to a 90 minute presentation about why FIC is a great company to work for. I have to say the manager did a really good job in selling the business. But the 1:1 interview bothered me. I have been interviewing for various positions and FIC didn't ask any substantial interview questions. I wondered how they would know that I was qualified or even a good fit with asking about 5 questions and then offering me a 2nd interview.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took a day)
E&Y has very relaxed conversation style interview. There are 2 interviewers each doing 30min interview separately. The interview questions are all behavioural questions - no technicals involved. The questions themselves were not that challenging to answer but how you present yourself and how you fit into their culture is what they are looking at I think. You get a phone call on the day you do the interview if you got the job.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
Ernst and Young originally came to my school as part of a career fair. After getting information on the company I applied online. I heard back fairly quickly and participated in an on campus interview. It was left that they would contact me if they were interested. I heard back within two weeks and was asked to come to their Time Square office for an interview day. There I participated in four interviews and was given an offer the next day.
