I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Boston, MA) in Oct 2009
Interview
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.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at EY in Mar 2009
Interview
Had to submit an online application where no CVs were accepted, had to answer 9 questions. Got rung up the Monday morning after the closing date (which was a Friday) to attend an assessment centre. Prior to assessment centre, had to do psychometric testing. At assessment centre, had an interview with a partner and manager, group discussion and drinks afterwards. We were also given feedback on the psychometric testing that was done online earlier which I found really useful.
