I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at EY (Houston, TX) in Mar 2020
Interview
30 minute pre recorded interview was the first round. Then the second round was about 1 month later and consisted of (2) 30minute interviews with partners in the audit practice. That same week I heard back via phone call that I got the position.

Question 1
Name a challenging time when you had to approach things from a different way
First round behaviourals and casing, second round plain behavioural with motivation etc. The casing was audit related, with some technicals and then a case about a small firm, and expected difficulties and other regarding auditing.
The interview process was pretty smooth, with the interviews being virtual, and more of a walkthrough of my resume with multiple interviewers. I also found that preparing for follow up questions and pitching myself as a candidate through stories in college was a very helpful approach.

Question 1
What was a challenging moment throughout your time in college?
Very straightforward. Behavioral interviews only. Asked about my on-campus experiences and why I should be a part of the internship program. As long as you practice your behaviorals and have experience to talk about that relates to accounting or even just business in general, you should be well prepared for the interview. It was not very difficult.
