I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Singapore) in Sept 2016
Interview
There were 4 rounds all in one day:
1: Classic interview (1-on-1 with manager)
2: Presentation about yourself, why EY, why advisory and something about the banking and finance industry (1-on-1 with senior manager)
3: Written test (Summarization task)
4: Group Case (4 per group, each one of you will have a leaflet of different information that you would have to communicate with your group).They will ask you questions at the end about how you arrived at the answer.
Depending on your interviewer, you may potentially get brain teasers. If not, each segment is about 45 mins with 15 mins break in between.
Tip: Read up a lot on what their different business lines are, how does the big 4 advisory differ from the big 3 consultancy firms, why do you want to go into consulting.

If i were to hire you, what is one thing that you would offer to the firm?
First round was on-campus interview. Mostly behavioral and some technical questions about courses I have taken. Next round was a 30 minute phone interview. Some questions about a project in the resume. Then some questions about probability and machine learning (central limit theorem, logistic regression).

Question 1
Q: Can three random variables be parities negatively correlated?
Strength-based interview. Almost to the extent that it felt like I was being assessed as a person rather than suitability to the role. Very pleasant overall. Conversational. My answers were contributed or added to.
