I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EY in Jun 2013
Interview
It was a typical application process. Firstly, there was an easy aptitude tests including Numerical and Logical Reasoning questions. Secondly, there was a behavior/personality interview, asking questions about your strengths and weakness etc. The interview was held in a comfortable environment, the interviewers were quite friendly. Lastly, there was the final interview with the Internal Audit head, again it was nothing difficult or very serious, and was mostly about your personality and involved some situation based questions. All in all a good experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are your strengths and weaknesses.
What is biggest achievement and your biggest failure.
Two steps interview, the first is an attitude based one, with typical questions about yourself and some easy accounting questions (basis of accounting from bachelors degree). If you pass the first interview they’ll send you an accounting test composed of 8 simple exercises which may be theoretical or practical, especially about journal entries and audit theory. The second interview is 90% technical, with many accounting questions, and some behavioural questions in order to assess wether you would act properly during the job
