I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Stockholm, ) in May 2012
Interview
First it was a phone interview. It was pretty standard personal-fit. Who are you? Why do you want this? Why should we choose you? (Not does exact question but you get the point).
Then it was a numerical reasoning test online. Not that hard. A lot of graphs, some easy calculations. I can not remember if calculator was permitted.
Then there was 2 rounds of interviews. 15 minutes of personal fit, 30 minute of case-solving. Standard business case. When the time was up you changed interviewer with the person in the room next door and you did the presentation for a different consultant.

Question 1
The interviewer questioned a certain step in my calculations for several minutes, even though it was correct. I do not know if this was an act or if she just did not understand (It was a very neat use of fractions for calculating the expected values and percentages.) I was however able to keep it cool when she kept on question it and then explain so she could understand. I think it in the end worked to my advantage.
Comprehensive interview process that rewards quick thinking and creative ideas. You will meet with many different people at different levels who will ask everything from your academic course of study to case interview questions.

Question 1
Why do you want to work in public accounting and why EY specifically?
excellent and very engaging with the interviewer as I can understand a lot how the firm treats its employees and provides opportunities for intern to explore areas that are most interested for the individuals
