The interview process had three parts. First was a behavioral conversation focused on collaboration and problem-solving. Next was a technical conversation around various tools. Finally, I spoke about my analytical approach and some projects i worked on.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at EY (Dallas, TX)
Interview
I applied through college career center. The process took a week, and I was notified for an on campus interview. The first round was behavior by a senior manager. The process was very chill and way less structural compared other big four. They really just wanted to know you as a person. The second round was what they called superday. We were invited to Dallas for on Thursday following a reception, where you can meet all interviewers and other candidates. FOOD AND ROOMS WERE AMAZING! Before the interview started the second day, a partner talked to us about EY and MAKE SURE ASK QUESTIONS AFTERWARDS!!!! Then 2 behavior and 1 case study. I believe behavior interviews were more important than the case one, but make sure to demonstrate strong communication skills during the case interview. A shuttle will send you to airports afterwards.
Referral hire. Lengthy but streamlined interview process. Standard application with one phone screening interview and another set of interviews with partners and Senior managers.
Minimal technical questions for staff, focus was more so on fit and behavior. (E.g., what would you do in X scenario?)
