I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at EY (Birmingham, AL) in Aug 2010
Interview
I forgot the interviewers name, so that definitely took the interview to a terrible low.
Don't forget the interviewers name. It also stunk that my interviewer was of the same sex and seemed like he/she didn't like me very much. Was a tough sell to someone who looked at you like they didn't care very much for you.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of animal would you describe yourself as?
First round behaviourals and casing, second round plain behavioural with motivation etc. The casing was audit related, with some technicals and then a case about a small firm, and expected difficulties and other regarding auditing.
The interview process was pretty smooth, with the interviews being virtual, and more of a walkthrough of my resume with multiple interviewers. I also found that preparing for follow up questions and pitching myself as a candidate through stories in college was a very helpful approach.

Question 1
What was a challenging moment throughout your time in college?
Very straightforward. Behavioral interviews only. Asked about my on-campus experiences and why I should be a part of the internship program. As long as you practice your behaviorals and have experience to talk about that relates to accounting or even just business in general, you should be well prepared for the interview. It was not very difficult.
