I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at EY (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2015
Interview
First round was basically a video recording. You got pre-determined questions that they picked for you and you had about 1 min to think and 2 mins to answer each one. If you passed that video round, you made it to 2nd/3rd rounds.
2nd round and 3rd round were done the same day. 2nd was a case interview - we got 50 mins to solve a case and type our answers in Word. Case was about a fictional company that makes alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages and you basically did a case on operational effectiveness based on the IT solutions that weren't solving anything. 3rd round was with 2 partners, 30 mins each. I had more banking/capital markets work before and got grilled hard on why I wanted to work in Risk. They asked me if I went to their info sessions. I didn't lie, I said I didn't go because of work (which was actually true). All behavioural, no news, but it really helps if you know anything related to EY.

Question 1
What would a typical engagement day look like? Why should we hire you? What's the most fascinating thing you know about EY? Who do you know, where do they work, and why?
The interview process was 2 behavioral interviews followed by a case study. In the case study you are provided a case to review for 10-15 minutes and asked follow-up interviews regarding what you read.

I applied through university. I interviewed at EY in Oct 2020
Interview
Applied through the school job posting. Heard back several weeks after the digital interview that they stopped hiring for this position. Could've done this assessment of the service line before recruiting.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at EY (San Jose, CA)
Interview
Very direct. I got referred so the recruiter contacted me for phone interview for 30ms, and she gave me clear direction in what is require and what are the next step. I applied through campus job board, had an online interview for around 6 questions. They invited me to a social event before the interview day, one behavior with partner and one case study with manager.
