I applied through other source. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at EY (New York, NY)
Interview
The most bizarre interviewing experience: initially the process was well organized but then fell off the rails
- Round 0: Introductory call with hiring manager (I came in via referral)
- Round 1 (week later): HR screen
- Round 2: (3 weeks later) 4 interviews with partners
- Round 3: (2 weeks later) call with a senior partner
... so far so good, both HR and business folks seem top notch and well organized, and I had remaining 2 rounds left... but then weird stuff began to happen. Hiring manager and HR folks would completely disappear, so I would chase them, they would commit to respond by a certain date and disappear again, and then I would re-start another cycle. Rather than business and HR folks communicating directly, they would repeatedly ask me if I heard from their internal counterpart or if I already had an interview?! Partners would literally beg HR to schedule the next round like it was some huge favor...
- Round 4: (5+ months later!) finally, call with the more senior partner ... I shared details of all the nonsense and questioned him how I could successfully grow business in such environment. He was a bit defensive but pleasant, gave positive indication and promised to follow-up with next steps shortly... never heard from them again
The case study was relatively easy. I would just recommend that you make sure you manage you're time well and read all of the background information thoroughly. Imterviewers will grill you on the case study afterwards so you should know all of the materials
The interview was held by my direct line manager and there was only one round. They asked a lot of technical questions and it was related to my role. The interviewer was friendly and polite and it was a good experience overall.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Chennai) in Aug 2024
