I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Barcelona) in Dec 2009
Interview
The Interview process was as follows:
Firstly, I had a personal interview with someone from HR who asked the regular questions.( Why Ernst& Youg?Why did you choose your career? Strenghts and Weaknesses?)
Afterwards I had to pass an accounting and an english test.
Secondly, I had an interview with a audit senior manager where we review the accounting test and also asked me more technical questions.
Finally I had an interview with an audit partner which is more a formalism because if you arrive at that step you are almost hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I can't remember.
What was for me unexpected was the accounting test.
Straight forward and easy was two interviews and they had great communication on both and also asked practical questions to gauge your technical knowledge as well as try see if you’re the right fit for the team

Le processus de recrutement a commencé par l’envoi de la candidature, suivi d’un entretien téléphonique de préqualification. J’ai ensuite passé un entretien technique avec l’équipe, puis un entretien final avec les RH.
