I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EY (New York, NY) in Sep 2015
Interview
Very unorganized. Was supposed to meet with two partners and when I got there one of them ended up being out of the office so I ended up interviewing with a random cranky old man who was not happy that he had to interview someone on short notice as soon as he got into the office. He was from another service line who had no clue what he was talking about in regards to the role I was interviewing for, and what type of experience was necessary, and was very adversarial to every response I gave. They should have just cancelled the interview and re-scheduled when the original person (who was most versed in the job functions I'd have been performing) was available.

Question 1
Don't remember any questions. The interview with the first partner was more of an adversarial exchange with him regarding the experience we each had and how it differed. I tried to stay calm and reduce the snark involved in my responses as much as possinle, but that is very difficult to do when someone is constantly interrupting you and trying to tell you that the work you've done has been done "the wrong way" because it is not inline with the work they've done. The entire time I was thinking "dude...it's called client service....you perform services in line with client preferences, policies, and procedures while ensuring it complies with any applicable regulations...stop being a know it all."
Interview process is relatively straight forward. HR is very responsive. 2 stages altogether, 1 with a director and another with the partner. Reasonable questions asked during interviews. Got offer in less than 1 week. Overall positive experience and
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
A screening call from friendly HR staff in the Philipines, follow HR screening by UK based HR staff, 1st competency screening 60 mins, 2nd competency screening 90 mins, from the 1st competency screening the interview coordination became hectic as if they didn't not comunicate internally, different people were invited to interview and different people joined, the focus on interview was completely different to what it was mentioned by their HR. Lack of coordination by the HR was outrageous.
It was a three stage process with the final stage involving preparing a slide deck with answers to a case study to present to a director and partner in EY format
