I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at EY in Feb 2011
Interview
It wasn't any different from the other Big4 firms. First a math, a logic and an English test, all of them in a written form. None of them were harder then average, but it is advisable to take them first at the last desireable Big4 for practice. (For the math a calculater was permitted.)
A usual HR interview couple of days later, about my studies, achievemets, goals.
Another interview with an Auditor Manager, about work/finance related questions.
Finally, a partner interview in English, which was a bit of a mix of the previous two interviews. But mainly about my future goals.
Overall it took me about 1,5 weeks, but since I had interviewed at Deloitte, PwC, KPMG as well, I was able to find a better fit for my expectations. For outsiders there are minor differences; any one of the firms is a perfect choice for an "auditor-wannabe".
It was good, they asked questions about ifrs and us gaap the company is good. Environment is highly competitive but it's fine things happen and it is what it is at the end of day
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your name and what are your strengths and weakness
Interview with HR, about 30 minutes. HR is so nice and give me the feedbacks that i feel it is so valuable for me. The interview went well and there is nothing to complain
there's two 30mins interview back to back, one with partner, one with senior managers. All the question are behavior questions, try to make ur answer with ur resume. Usually got back from the recruiter with in 2 week.
