I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Stockholm, Stockholm) in May 2014
Interview
First submission of transcripts, CV and Cover Letter. Second online tests. The main thing that is different about these tests is that you will have very little time to answer the questions. Prepare for that. Third, interview stage including presentation of a case and an interview including a case and personal fit questions. Fourth, interview with higher-up consultant and personality test. Fifth, interview with a partner.

Question 1
An italian restaurant is opening outside the building. They will be open from 1100 to 2000 every day. How many tomatoes will they need to buy every year?
The interviews were pretty standard and not too formal. Quite relaxed. I did 3 or 4 interviews, and a few calls with the recruiter to set it all up. They were easy to reach compared to other companies.
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.
