The ac is hard, a big group of people join, and you have to be competitive to be able to speak. The task is kinda hard. But the HR was nice and friendly

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at EY (North Sydney) in Jan 2026
Interview
Typical of big 4, a few homework problems and 2 interviews consisting of group interviews and individual interviews with assessment centers. I enjoyed it but I would say that there are always similar jobs out there
Smooth interview process, interviewer seemed nice. The office was beautiful and people were friendly. Overall not too difficult but be prepared on why you want to work for EY and your chosen service line
