I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at EY (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2014
Interview
I was referred by a friend.It took just 2 weeks from the time the Resume was submitted and I got a call from HR. Total 3 Interviews.
1: Scheduled a preliminary round with HR.
2: Phone Interview with Senior Consultant ( bcoz manager was not available)
3: 45 minutes each on site interview with Sr. Manager, Partner and Manager.
They all gave a background of EY work structure, FSO, Risk Management and their experience in EY so far. It was more like a discussion than an interview.
Basic behavioral, project based and some conceptual questions like What is CFPB Reporting etc..
Very good overall Experience, professional enviornment and structured process. HR was very supporting in the entire process.
