I applied through university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at EY in Mar 2018
Interview
Pre-recorded video interview consisting of 5-6 behavioral questions. Not overly difficult questions, and you had three attempts to record your answer to each question. It was kind of awkward having to talk to your webcam instead of interviewing with someone.

The process typically begins with an online application where candidates submit academic details, work experience, and competency-based responses. Shortlisted applicants usually complete online assessments covering numerical reasoning, situational judgement, and behavioural profiling. Successful candidates then progress to a video interview and often an assessment centre involving case studies, group exercises, and partner or manager interviews. The process assesses technical potential, commercial awareness, communication skills, teamwork, and alignment with EY’s values.
