I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at EY in Feb 2012
Interview
Applied online in December and received call to come for interview in early February for IT Risk & Assurance. The interview began with a short essay which last about 15-20 minutes. Nothing technical, it was about how you perceive audit profession. After which I had a interview with two manager/senior manager for about 1.5hrs. Again nothing technical, it was more about introducing myself, my strengths and weaknesses etc. And the managers will share more about the company working culture, environment and the high working hours. I received the offer about 3 working days later.

How you describe an Operating system in layman terms.
The process was relatively straightforward and moved quickly (total time was less than 2 weeks). It consisted of:
(1) Online application - submitting CV, cover letter etc. via the career portal
(2) Online assessment - takes about 1 hour, some quantitative questions, questions about behaviours etc.
(3) Phone call with recruiter
(4) In-person interview - less "formal", more conversational

*tip: be prepared with questions to ask the interviewer
Overall good experience. 2 rounds of interview. Got to know results in 1 day. Smooth process. Interview was scheduled online. Three interviewers were present. Covered technical questions and skills i know.
the application process is starting from looking in the LinkedIn. After that, they refer to the EY website. From this you can see the requirement for the job applicant. Depends on the role whether the company expect quite experience on organization and academic. The most important they put a highlight is being active on organization which they know how social you are.
