I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at EY (New York, NY) in Aug 2013
Interview
I had two phone interviews. One was with the recruiter and another was with the lead partner. I then had 3 onsite interviews. A manager, senior manager and partner interviewed me.

Question 1
We went through my resume and they asked me to walk through some technical projects that I had done. Also, they asked some behavioral questions such as what were some difficulties and how did you handle them.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at EY (London, England)
Interview
Three stages, first was remote.
Really great impression from all the interviewers. The organisation, communication and feedback across the stages was very good.
In particular I appreciated the direct communication style and feedback - many interviewers remain vague but I found feedback throughout the process considered and helpful.
Quick and transparent process supported by their talent acquisition partners. Unlike many other hirers, they actually provided feedback following interviews! The interviews were mostly conversational and not relying on the STAR approach.
