Interview
Campus Recruiting - Great interview. Asked many behavioral questions. Gave me scenarios and asked what I would do. There is a written component which is really east and you receive in an email a few days later.
SuperDay - This is your secon round of interviews. You go to the office where you would be interning. There are 3 interviews. 1: Basic interview. Ask same behavioral questions. Walk through your resume/experience. 2: Case study. Not that difficult. I would recommend practicing. Know how to work through a problem and think out side of the box. They want to see that you are capable of critical thinking. They do not necessarily care if you are right, rather they want to see how you attack a problem. Just stay calm and composed. 3: Last interview is geared toward how you would fit in EY. Scenario questions are asked as well as job specific questions.
Overall great experience. The entire staff at EY was very open to questions and the interviews made me fall more in love with EY.

Question 1
The case study is by far the hardest part of the interview process. Google EY Case Studies and look at practice ones. Also listen to the podcasts that they send via email.

Interview
(Actuarial Internship)
First round phone interview with an actuary who asks standard behavioral questions. A week later received the second round invitation.
Before going to "Superday", there was an online writing assessment where I was given a prompt and had 45 minutes to write an essay. The Superday consisted of two behavioral and one case interview, all 1 on 1 and 30 minutes long. Very normal interviews about resume, leadership, activities, internships, etc. Be ready to ask questions for the majority of each interview!
There was also a Q&A panel with new hires but it did not count toward the hiring decision. Take the opportunity to learn about the firm so you can ask intelligent questions during the interviews.
Received an offer within 2 days of Superday.
