I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at EY (New York, NY) in Mar 2023
Interview
I was recommended by a former colleague for a senior level position. Going there would have been a slight downgrade due to the size of the business I was leading. However, the job intrigued me. I had 6 interviews including their Chief Marketing Officer who complained about how much of a diva the stakeholder was. Then was ghosted. Good riddance EY. I will never apply to you again and you would have been lucky to get me.

Tell me about yourself. How do you measure your work? What is your company's strategy? How do you handle difficult people? Why do you want to work here?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at EY (Dubai) in Sep 2025
Interview
Simple, not technical. No depth in panel. They seemed pressed for time but very keen to hire. Is not as rigorous as other consulting firms such as McKinsey. Could not easily understand what sets them apart in the market
3 rounds of interview with 2 partners in each round. All friendly people. Interviews focused on experience to date and what I was looking for. Technical questions were also thrown in.
