Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the most difficult business challenge you have faced in the last three years?
Lack of early alignment between role level, responsibilities, and candidate expectations, which made it difficult to understand where I realistically fit in the process
Insufficient transparency around interview purpose and seniority of the roles being assessed, which created confusion about what stage was actually evaluating
Shifting role direction during the process (different levels discussed at different stages), rather than a consistent hiring path
Compensation expectations were not clearly addressed upfront, despite being shared early in the process
Overall process felt unstructured in terms of matching candidate profile to the right role level before progressing through interviews, which made the experience feel somewhat inefficient and frustrating as a candidate
Interview process is relatively straight forward. HR is very responsive. 2 stages altogether, 1 with a director and another with the partner. Reasonable questions asked during interviews. Got offer in less than 1 week. Overall positive experience and
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EY (London, England)
Interview
A screening call from friendly HR staff in the Philipines, follow HR screening by UK based HR staff, 1st competency screening 60 mins, 2nd competency screening 90 mins, from the 1st competency screening the interview coordination became hectic as if they didn't not comunicate internally, different people were invited to interview and different people joined, the focus on interview was completely different to what it was mentioned by their HR. Lack of coordination by the HR was outrageous.
