HR Recruiter reached out over Linkedin for a quick chat because of my background and resume. The HR Phone screening review was unprofessional; they rescheduled the first meeting last minute and then were 10 minutes late to the rescheduled call. They asked pointed questions that didn't seem relevant to the role. There was no follow-up, and it seems like it might be an open position with no set timeline to fill it. This would have been a lateral move in the same exact line of work, so it was odd the HR people weren't professional.

Coding Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process was quite lengthy and had some issues with consistent communication. It included an online assessment, which had a video interview component, followed by a virtual assessment centre. The final stage was an in-person interview. During this final interview, there were conversational and competency-based questions, usually with a partner or the team lead you'd be working with. My advice is to be natural and honest, avoiding sounding too rehearsed, particularly with your answers about motivation.

I applied online through linkedin and got a screen. Super friendly and low pressure conversation about my resume and what I could offer the team. The recruiter mentioned I was within the experience they were looking for. I followed up within a week and was told I would not be moving forward. After asking for feedback, I was told again that it was for the lack of experience due to being a recent grad. Maybe some sugar coating

Group Coding Technical Case Behavioral
The interview process for this role was quite long, spanning 9 months, and felt disorganized. I applied in October 2024 for the Financial Services Strategy role. After completing the EY One Assessment and finding out I passed, I was invited to an Assessment Centre (AC) in mid-February 2025. I received confirmation of passing the AC two weeks later and was then invited to final round interviews in April, which included two case interviews and a Partner interview. The case interviews were initially scheduled back-to-back on the same day, but due to interviewer availability, the second one had to be rescheduled. The Partner interview, though virtual, was also rescheduled. Despite performing well and being told feedback would be provided within weeks, I didn't hear back until June, about 1.5 months later, with a rejection. The feedback I received was vague, simply stating other candidates were stronger. This recruitment process was much slower and less professional than other strategy roles I've encountered, and I wasn't assigned a mentor.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- For the Assessment Centre, we had a group discussion and an individual task which involved writing an email and a math test.
- The case interviews included one about market sizing in the TMT sector, and another business case focusing on the financial services industry, specifically a bank.
- In the Partner Interview, I was asked about my motivations for choosing EYP and the FS sector, and about my past experiences.
