Intelligence? That's a fairly hard thing to measure and likely a poor indicator of a good employee. However there is a element of prep and memorization which does require a base level of intelligence. Haven't gotta an offer from the Big4 but like I stated half of my former team now work at one of the big four and I've worked with loads of people who have received offers or currently work at the Big4. I also know countless people who have been utterly destroyed in technical interviews with the Big4 because they didn't put in the time and effort to study for it and treated it like a tech interview for a digital consulting agency.
