I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at EY (Atlanta, GA) in Nov 2012
Interview
Went to a non-target school and got my connection / interview through networking rather than a campus recruiting program. First spoke to HR on phone and it went well. Guy was nice, professional, and clear. Second, I was contacted by a Senior Manager on the phone (about 1 week later) who also interviewed me. He was very up-front and honest about what he was looking for. He was also very professional and all around it was a pleasant interview. Ultimately I was told he prefers to hire from campus-recruiting programs at their target schools based on past success rates. I received an email from HR the next day explaining I wasn't on top of their list...understandable. All around a pleasant and professional interview process.

Question 1
Explain the last time you were forced to make a decision you did not want to make.
The interview process began with a brief introduction where I shared my background, education, and career goals. This was followed by a discussion about my resume and previous projects. Next, I answered a few technical and behavioral questions to demonstrate my knowledge, problem-solving skills, and communication abilities. I also completed a short coding or task-based exercise related to the role. At the end of the interview, I had the opportunity to ask questions about the company and the position before the interviewer explained the next steps in the hiring process.

Simple process with HR then moved to a business case where I presented it based on a determined scenario. Next rounds of interview with senior management to navigate the opportunity, challenges and the offer itself.
It was nice the interviewers were kind but seemed a bit unprepared. Asked basic questions as expected with some brain teasers at the end. Prepare normally and be ready with a pen and paper.
