Interviewed May 2012 in Minneapolis, MN (took 2 months)
E&Y did a great job of introducing me to their culture, but not their staff. They gave a presentation at my school where their corporate ideals very well (globalization, leadership, entrepreneurship, etc.), but there were no tax partners or managers present. I had hoped to meet one during the interview, but it ended up being with a campus recruiter instead. I felt that they didn't take my candidacy seriously. Why would they even offer me an interview when I haven't even met any of the people in charge?

Interviewed May 2012 in Sydney (Australia) (took a day)
You begin the day with a basic intro to the company and you get split up to either to do the numeracy and literacy test first or your behavioural interview. Vice versa for the next hour.
Following a short afternoon tea, you go off into doing either your group work/ partner interview for the next hour. Group work consists of working within a group of 5 people and discussing a basic issue with a panel watching over you. Vice versa for the next hour. If you did your partner interview, your group work would be next

1. Enlish test
Those who have passed some important English exams and achieved good score could exempt from the English test.
Generally, the test is easy,but not easy to get high score.
2. Group Interview
First introduce the interviewee sitting besides you. Then all the interviewees will be divided into two groups and debate. Finally, there will be group discussion regarding one business plan.
3. Partner Intervies
This part is relatively easy. You just need to show the truely self. English is important if your interviewer is from out of mainland China.

Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 2+ weeks)
I started off with a series of phone interviews. These were mostly informational - Ernst and Young trying to get to know me, while I tried to get to know their division. The last phone interview was more technical, and included a few technical questions about 'What would you do in Situation X?', as well as a few standard 'Tell me about a time when you...' interview style questions. After these, I was invited for in-person interviews.
