I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at EY (Auckland, ) in Apr 2011
Interview
Friendly and fun. You MUST know something about auditing for this to work. Do not go to an interview hoping to learn about auditing. Look at what clients they audit and mention them - something in the news about them, anything that's relevant and financial.
They do an interview, a quick Psych test (pre-done on the internet), an office tour and some group activities. It's harmless and fun. Nice people. BE PREPARED. Don't pig out at the lunch - be cool.

Question 1
I asked these - they liked them - "what do you like most about auditing at EY?" and "what's your favourite client, and why?"
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at EY (Dublin, Dublin) in Feb 2015
Interview
Entering your CV onto their online portal, along with completing their questions there, took some time, as with all applications. However, once your application was processed, it moved quite quickly. I had a one on one interview with someone I had met previously at an EY function set up by university. It was quite informal and they seemed to have almost made their decision beforehand. This seems to be the case in general, as I know several people who couldn't make it to a one on one session and interviewed successfully over the phone.
They tested my english skills, asked about my motivation, general knowledge and experience. Checked my Curriculum Vitae very meticulously. Also, I had to explain the reason why my professional interests have switched, because my previous background was in electrical engineering.
