I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at EY (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2016
Interview
EY has methodic interview process. First recruiter will call you to understand your profile, fitment to the job and company and any specific interests. Then recruiter will come back with interview schedule which is typically 2 telephonic that includes 1 technical and 1 functional/process/management. If through, you will be called for onsite interview which is called as super day. Here 5 people will interview you in different areas and determine your fitment.

Question 1
Elevation pitch
Where do you see yourself in next 5 years.
Distributed web technologies, angularjs, 2 way data binding
How will you ensure team is following best practices and standards for development
Molto semplice. Colloquio solo di tipo conoscitivo, pochissime domande tecniche e molto basilari. Mi è stato testato l'inglese, ma anche questo a livelli basilari. Specifico che il colloquio sia stato sostenuto però da figura junior, vale a dire.

I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at EY (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
Three stages, first was remote.
Really great impression from all the interviewers. The organisation, communication and feedback across the stages was very good.
In particular I appreciated the direct communication style and feedback - many interviewers remain vague but I found feedback throughout the process considered and helpful.
Quick and transparent process supported by their talent acquisition partners. Unlike many other hirers, they actually provided feedback following interviews! The interviews were mostly conversational and not relying on the STAR approach.
