I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at EY (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2009
Interview
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you faced difficulty in a team.
Try telling stories to impress the recruitment team, and it's kinda hard to do so. Also the timer appearing when answering quiz, all the things are making you nervous throughout the one-way video interview.

Question 1
Any experience of leadership?
Any experience of failure?
First round behaviourals and casing, second round plain behavioural with motivation etc. The casing was audit related, with some technicals and then a case about a small firm, and expected difficulties and other regarding auditing.
The interview process was pretty smooth, with the interviews being virtual, and more of a walkthrough of my resume with multiple interviewers. I also found that preparing for follow up questions and pitching myself as a candidate through stories in college was a very helpful approach.
