I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EY (New York, NY) in Nov 2014
Interview
On campus first round interview. Then got the on-site interview one month later.
The on-campus interview is basically walking through the resume and asking me research related questions. The on-site interview is a mixture between technical and behavioral questions. The behavioral questions are very standard and like in any interview book. One question they repeatedly ask is that if you can sustain long hours of work if there is a upcoming urgent issue. The technical questions are very general. They do not ask you to solve specific math or coding problems, but ask you to describe the high-level strategy for analyzing a data set for a particular problem. For example, what model to use for a XX data set, what can be the typical problems, etc..

Question 1
You utilize a model for a real data set. This model has a set of assumptions. How do you know that these assumptions are consistent with the real data?
Received emails for scheduling the first interview, without a phone screening or so. Two rounds of interview, first one is on campus. First interview was about resume review and behavior questions; then the second consisted of combo of tech & normal questions. Seems like EY took nobody from my school.

Interview
30 minutes phone interview, focusing on academic knowledge. First introduce yourself, then ask only technical questions, no behavior questions. Most quentions based on the technical parts of research and intern experience. They would ask the details!
