I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EY (New York, NY) in Feb 2021
Interview
Very typical behavioral interview with two back to back 30min with a manager and partner. If you know your behavioral and situational questions, you will be fine. They are looking for a good fit with the team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you experienced a challenge and how did you overcome it?
Very unprofessional. After the assessment centre they called me that they were satisfied with me a they sent me to the 2nd round. They told me that they will call me with the dates for the in-person interview. They did not and they send me an e-mail that they found someone else.
Try telling stories to impress the recruitment team, and it's kinda hard to do so. Also the timer appearing when answering quiz, all the things are making you nervous throughout the one-way video interview.

First round behaviourals and casing, second round plain behavioural with motivation etc. The casing was audit related, with some technicals and then a case about a small firm, and expected difficulties and other regarding auditing.
