I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EY in Oct 2009
Interview
First I went to alot of their socials on campus so once career fair came around I knew the recruiters amd easily got an on campus interview. Once I passed that I was invited to do an on site interview which was intense. Three interviews in one day almost back to back. I didn't get the internship, they wanted someone further in their coursework.

The process typically begins with an online application where candidates submit academic details, work experience, and competency-based responses. Shortlisted applicants usually complete online assessments covering numerical reasoning, situational judgement, and behavioural profiling. Successful candidates then progress to a video interview and often an assessment centre involving case studies, group exercises, and partner or manager interviews. The process assesses technical potential, commercial awareness, communication skills, teamwork, and alignment with EY’s values.
