The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EY in Jan 2010
Interview
first round consisted of a telephone screening with the HR/Recruiter. After about a week, the scheduler of the practice sent me an email with specific people from the practice that I'll be meeting with for a second round of interviews. I met the practice leader first, then Sr Mgr, Manager, and lastly a Director. They were great in explaining the work, their backgrounds, expectations, and EY. It felt more of a discussion than an interview. About a week later, I received an offer.
The process took 5 days. I interviewed at EY (New York, NY) in Dec 2011
Interview
One day I got a call from an HR and she asked me about me about my background and whether I was interested in E&Y - TAS. The call lasted for around 30 minute.
After that, I received a case study from a recruiting director. By this case study, they wanted to check my accounting and finance knowledge, and my analytical skills. I nailed the the case study and exceeded their expectations.
Finally, I was invited to E&Y Times Square office in NYC for the final round. The final round consisted of four one-on-one interviews. These four interviews was conducted by 2 seniors managers, the recruiting director and a partner. All of these interviews were behavioral. I think, they were checking my communication skills and fit. I wasn't asked a single technical question.
This process took only 4 working days.
