I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at EY (Seattle, WA) in May 2014
Interview
Applied through my school's career services website: Resume, transcripts, cover letter. Invited to round 1 of interviews shortly (about a week) after the application period ended. First round of interviews was 30 minutes featured several behavioral based interview questions, but also getting to know the interviewer/firm in more depth. This interview was with a senior member of the firm. 1 week later, was called in for a second round of interviews that would occur about a month later. The second round of interviews lasted the better portion of a day and included an office tour, lunch, and two 30 minute interviews with other senior members of the firm. Fewer behavioral based questions were asked in these interviews. The focus was much more on conversations about the firm and accounting in general. About 1 week later, received a call that I was accepted to the program.
