I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at EY (Edinburgh, Schottland) in Jan 2015
Interview
First round interview based on a pre-determined list of about 17 questions of the type 'tell me about a time when....' So many questions mean you need a lot of examples.
Assessment centre featured relatively simple numerical and verbal reasoning tests but the written assessment was particularly time pressured with a lot of information to summarise. Best to plan a structure at the start and be rigid with the time you assign to each part.
Final round interview with a partner- your motivations for joining EY and the particular business function, some discussion of trends in the service line I had applied to.
round one- with a Senior or a Manager. This involves deep dives into your CV, a technical check on sustainability concepts, and a conversational fit assessment.
behavioural questions
The interviewer was friendly and easy to talk to
Had to prepare a presentation on myself and what industry in Nigeria I think would most benefit from a tech revolution. Then, answered follow-up questions on both the personal and market research portions.

What team would you want to work for most and why?
