I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EY (London, England) in May 2019
Interview
Very organized. The interviewers were very friendly and very knowledgeable about their fields of specialization. The recruiters reached out to me a day or two after the interview to give detailed feedback and communicate next steps. Very impressive!
