I applied in-person. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at EY (São Paulo, ) in Sep 2011
Interview
I was indicated by a friend from inside, then I did a interview with HR personnel, then with the management team, then with the partner in place.
The job interview process can be lengthy. Being interviewed once and getting a job offer is typically a thing of the past. Today, many companies have an involved interview process starting with screening interviews, followed by in-person interviews, second interviews and even third interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The usual, what have you been doing, whant do you want for the future, can you deliver the expected from you?
Molto semplice. Colloquio solo di tipo conoscitivo, pochissime domande tecniche e molto basilari. Mi è stato testato l'inglese, ma anche questo a livelli basilari. Specifico che il colloquio sia stato sostenuto però da figura junior, vale a dire.

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.
