I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Boston, MA) in Nov 2018
Interview
First applied for a position in Audit for Winter 2019, and took part in an one-way interview. Two weeks later, was told that an opportunity actually arose for a position in Tax (Financial Services sector) Winter 2019. HR told me that they had to make a decision quickly, and implied that it was pretty certain I would get the job. Was immediately scheduled for two 30-minute final round video interviews the next day.
First interview started five minutes late. The interviewer was telecommuting and was having technical difficulties, so had to have a phone interview instead. Interviewer said her name, said this was a behavioral interview, and dived right in to questions. The interviewer did not view my previous one-way interview, and didn't even have my resume. Her first two questions were exactly the same as the ones I had on my one-way interview. I tried to answer differently since I assumed she knew my previous answers (that was a mistake). The interviewer tried to tell me I wasn't interested in tax since I applied to audit first. She also bashed an EY employee who came over from PwC because she wasn't used to the 'teaming' at EY. This first interview felt like an interrogation, and the interviewer pressed for more and more detail for each question.
The second thirty-minute interview was a very pleasant conversation, via video. The interviewer took the time to introduce himself and describe what it was like to work in tax. His questions were slightly more high-level than the first interviewer, as it was a final round interview.
Did not receive any word from HR later in the day, even though the recruiter said she would contact me. Had to call the recruiter myself, and was told that I would not be getting the job, but EY wished me all the best.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at EY
Interview
Initial interview was of telephonic conversation. They asked about past experience and the current role. Also current and expected CTC. Then the interviewer convinced that there are ample of job opportunities plus a healthy work exposure to learn a lot many things.

Interview
The process when by smoothly. Pretty standard. You had to be proactive to get responses. They had a virtual interview where they asked you questions and you responded in a video then did a video interview with a manager. The problem I had is the recruiter told me twice I had an offer, but never a gave me the written offer. An hour before the celebratory lunch the recruiter called and said that I wouldn't have an offer so I shouldn't go to the lunch that I had scheduled with EY weeks ago. Luckily I had another offer, but I felt this was highly unethical.
