I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at EY (Birmingham, England) in Feb 2007
Interview
Applied on line through a lengthy application form, including long written answers about achievements and what I would do in particular situations.
Interview consisted of a 30minute face-to-face interview with a senior member of staff, who quizzed me on my application form as well as how much I knew about Ernst & Young. I was asked about what I would do in varying situations and how I rank different achievements in my life. I was also asked to discuss how I had demonstrated teaming before an overcome challenges in teams.
I then had a 'group assessment centre'. We had to read information and then debate a given stance on the information. Before then being set a new objective of working together as a team to take a new view point. We then had a 1 hour written assessment about a case study given.
I was informed within 24 hours that I had been accepted.

I was shortlisted after completing the assessment test and was then invited for an interview with the partner. The partner was kind, friendly, and approachable, which made the interview feel comfortable. The interview was relatively short and focused mainly on getting to know my background, experiences, and interest in the role.
