The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Saint Louis, MO) in Nov 2011
Interview
First interview took place on college campus, it consisted of a "meet and greet" where you talk to a staff 1 or 2 for 20 or so minutes...it is a very casual conversation..then you were interviewed by a senior manager typically..they asked about 4-5 questions...they definetly look for personality. Especially for audit, they want someone they can see interacting with their clients. If you made it passed the first round interview, then you would do a office visit. My office visit conisisted of 3 interviews by senior managers and/or partners, and also a lunch with staff/seniors. It was a long day (probably around 5 -6 hours total) because they also do a office tour, presentation, etc. The whole interview process from first round interview to offer probably took 3 weeks.

Question 1
What makes you a better candidate than other prospective hirees
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at EY (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2011
Interview
The hiring process is very streamlined. Unlike in advisory, there is no case study, just a series of three basic one on one interviews from a Manager, a Senior Manager, and a Partner. Keep in mind; however, that everyone, even the "buddy" who shows you around, will be asked about you. There is a great deal of effort exerted in making you feel welcomed and relaxed, so you have no excuse to be nervous!

Question 1
So tell me about yourself - what's not on your resume?
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at EY (Birmingham, AL) in Aug 2010
Interview
I forgot the interviewers name, so that definitely took the interview to a terrible low.
Don't forget the interviewers name. It also stunk that my interviewer was of the same sex and seemed like he/she didn't like me very much. Was a tough sell to someone who looked at you like they didn't care very much for you.
