I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Moscow, Moskva) in Dec 2012
Interview
Interview process was very fast, it continued for 2 weeks. The interview with the HR was about my intentions to work there, about my hobbies and whether I can work long hours. The interview with the manager was a little bit hard, because they used some methods of stress interview. I felt a little bit nervous, because they tried to put pressure on me. The questions were about the basics of accounting, about some norms of audit.

Question 1
No unexpected questions, but their atitude to what I was talking about was unexpected. Their didn't show any sign of appproval.
Try telling stories to impress the recruitment team, and it's kinda hard to do so. Also the timer appearing when answering quiz, all the things are making you nervous throughout the one-way video interview.

Question 1
Any experience of leadership?
Any experience of failure?
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.
