I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at EY (London, England) in Feb 2017
Interview
One to one telephone interview with a recent graduate. Standard competency questions such as leadership, teamwork but also motivational questions such as why have you chosen to apply to this programme, why EY in particular
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you've shown leadership
Why EY Smart Futures
The interview process included me completing an application form and then completing a telephone interview lasting around 20-25 minutes ,the interviewer was quite sweet and i made sure to ask a question at the end.
Interviewer was very nice, questions themselves were not there to trip you up. It was not that difficult and they gave you 2 out of the 8 questions to prepare for before the actual telephone interview.
