I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Cleveland, OH) in Jun 2015
Interview
I was contacted via email by an EY Talent Recruiter for an E.A. position. After an initial phone interview, I was sent an online, 60 question (timed) assessment on Microsoft Apps (20 questions each on PowerPoint, Excel and Word). I scored well with 56/60.
The next day, I was contacted again for an in-person interview. I met with three Acquisition Recruiters. 2 flew in and one was conferenced in via phone (none were locally based). The interview lasted 45 minutes. I was told different facts between the interviewers and the (phone) Talent Recruiters, so it appeared I came into the interview unprepared. I was also told I may never meet the Partners I would be supporting unless they came into my office for a meeting. Other than that, I thought the interview went well, but after three weeks, nobody followed up with me. I emailed my Talent Recruiter, who then mentioned I did not get the position. (I gave them extra time to follow up because they mentioned they would be hiring a "pool" of Executive Assistants - approx. 15.) Based on that and the numerous typos and errors (two different interview dates) in her email, I was left with a bad first impression despite EY having a reputation as a great company to work for.

Interview
After an initial phone screen by an HR manager, I was interviewed in person by two managers. That interview was immediately followed by a phone interview with a third manager. By the time I returned home to write my thank-you email, the HR manager was on the phone with an offer.

Question 1
Standard interview questions. Mostly background questions as well as skills-level questions followed by some teaming questions that seem to be designed to draw out responses that circle back to previous teamwork background.
