I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at EY (Baltimore, MD) in Feb 2010
Interview
Got a call from a head hunter. Once expressed an interest, had a phone interview with HR. The phone interview covered past experience, date of availability, etc. If you really are interested in working there, say so. Onsite interview was HR and two senior managers. No surprise. All they wanted to know was if you had the right experience. The offer came within two weeks of the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were no surprised questions asked. The entire process smooth. All they wanted to know was previous working experience and why wanted to work for them.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at EY (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2014
Interview
Interviewed as an experienced hire. Questions were most behavior based. First interview was with HR and then follow-up interview was with partner. Both were relaxed and interested in getting to know if a candidate is the right fit.
