I applied in-person. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at EY (Köln) in Dec 2018
Interview
Beim Kaffee hat man sich das erste mal getroffen und ganz locker unterhalten.
Dann hat man sich gemeinsam einen Business-Case überlegt und den habe ich dann ausgearbeitet. Habe viel über meine alten und bisherigen Projekte gesprochen ohne Firmennamen zu nennen, es ging mehr um das was und wie.

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
