I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Dublín, Dublín) in Feb 2015
Interview
A basic 30 minute competency based interview at the EY offices. Quite mundane and there were no curveball questions. As the name suggests they are looking more for enthusiasm and traces of competence than any defined skillsets for internship positions. From my experience interviews for big 4 internships depend quite a bit on the luck of the draw with the interviewer and the service line you are applying to. Sometimes you will just click with the interviewer and have many interests, viewpoints and even a background in common. Similarly, some service lines such as Tax have a lot of positions while others like FAS have only a few.
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

round one- with a Senior or a Manager. This involves deep dives into your CV, a technical check on sustainability concepts, and a conversational fit assessment.
