First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Ernst & Young Global Services.
Software Engineer
I went through 3 rounds of interviews. The first was a screening call with the recruiter where they asked basic questions about my visa status, previous companies, salary expectations, location preferences, and willingness to relocate. Then, I had a 30-minute behavioral interview that went well, focusing on scenario-based questions like managing academics and internships simultaneously or handling a team. The final round was a technical interview for this entry-level position. The interviewer had a list of questions primarily on Java concepts and Spring Boot, including topics like CRUD operations, OAuth 2.0, custom exceptions, APIs, JDBC, and shallow copy, all theoretical. At the end, I was given a coding question based on Strings, asked to optimize it, and then explain my solution without executing it. After the interviews, I didn't receive any response despite sending follow-up emails.
- Questions on Java concepts and Spring Boot were asked.
- Questions regarding CRUD operations were asked.
- Questions about OAuth 2.0 were asked.
AML Analyst
The interview process was very cold and lifeless, quite formal. There was little to no discussion about future prospects or opportunities, so I didn't get a feel for the atmosphere or culture.
- Can you tell me about your AML experience?
- Do you have experience with KYC?
- What is your experience with sanctions?
Audit Associate
The interview was straightforward and focused on essential auditing and accounting principles. It covered core financial concepts, basic bookkeeping, and fundamental audit processes, aiming for beginners to grasp key accounting and audit foundations clearly and accurately.
- Can you introduce yourself?
- Could you explain the components of the Balance Sheet and Income Statement?
- What are the different types of reserves found on a Balance Sheet and where are they typically located?
Risk Analyst
We began with an online test, which was pretty straightforward apart from one coding question that was a bit harder. Then, I had a technical interview where we discussed problem-solving and some concepts. Lastly, there was an HR interview to check how well I communicate, if I'm a good fit, and what my career plans are.
- Can you name three types of cybersecurity threats?
