I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at EY (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2015
Interview
I applied through EY's Emerging Leaders Program. I believe everyone who attended and applied for Tax or Audit received an offer, but for advisory there was a case study interview required. My interviewer was a manager, although she had just recently joined the firm a few months prior. We began by introducing ourselves. I told her about my siblings and where I grew up (turns out she was looking to move to the same city).
Afterwards, she handed me a case study and left the room for about 15 minutes. When she returned, I walked her through my recommendations. I made sure to explain my thought process as I went along. She gave me one critique (or one area that I failed to acknowledge), but afterwards the process was over and I heard back a month and a half later.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at EY
Interview
Met at on campus career fair. Submitted application through campus link and EY website. Got invited to submit a PRVI that consisted of around five questions. One to two weeks later, I had my final interview (two 30 minute behavioral interviews and a 50 minute case study). Heard back that same day.
A pre-recorded interview and then a final round interview which consists of 3 interviews: two behavioral and one case study interview. You get two attempts at the pre-recorded interview so you have enough time to make your answer for the second attempt.
