I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EY in Oct 2011
Interview
I sent my resume online, and then follow up after a week. I first talked to HR person for phone screening interview, for about 30 min. and got to the next round for one on one phone interview the week after. The interview meant to last for about 30 min., but it went over. The interview questions were, " why Ernst & Young", " why I left my last job", my GPA, and what functional area I was looking to get a position in. From the interviewer's explanation, I could see that the position was a bit different from what I read on the job description. I guess what I wanted and what they had were not an exact match.
Competency based interview with three rounds including assessment of motivations. There was a final stage interview with the hiring manager and head of department. The interviews were conducted online rather than in person.
