I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at EY in Apr 2020
Interview
Applied for the audit graduate UK opening in Sep 2020. Overall good but challenging experience. You start off with an interactive situational judgment test, as well as a numerical test where you have to interpret and make use of data from case studies, none of these are timed. If you succeed you receive a timed numerical test. After this, you move on to another section of the test where you interpret numerical information yet again, and will then record video answers for a completely different set of questions. The video answer part was undoubtedly the most difficult part of the test and is a completely different experience from a typical job interview. You will be given a large paragraph to read and answer questions relating to blockchain, chatbots, technological change all while the timer is ticking down from 1-2 minutes. I was definitely caught a bit off guard.
The only drawback in my view is the minimal feedback you receive for the amount of effort you put in. You never get to find out why you didn't make it past the video interview. Otherwise it was a fun process.
