Technical Behavioral Case Other
First, applicants send an online application through the company’s careers portal. Shortlisted candidates get a test link and must finish online assessments, which include aptitude tests, situational judgment tests, and technical evaluations depending on the role. After that there is a phone or virtual screening interview with a recruiter to talk about background, experience, and motivation. Candidates who pass are invited to one or more detailed interviews with managers or senior team members. These interviews usually focus on behavioral questions, case studies, and role-specific technical knowledge.

Behavioral
My interview process at EY was really relaxed. The recruiter was very friendly and enthusiastic, and the conversation felt natural. She asked me about myself, times I faced challenges, why I wanted to join EY and the Summer Program, why I’m into consulting, and what my strengths are.

Behavioral Case Other
Had 4 rounds of interviews for a Senior Consultant role in the Strategy team. I went through the interviews with the senior consultant, manager and senior manager rounds pretty easily. I thought the partner round would just be a chat since all the technical questions were already asked in the earlier rounds. But I was wrong. It ended up being super technical which didn’t make sense to me, since my evaluation should have been done in the previous rounds. Also, the team and the role has been renamed and reposted like 3 to 4 times in the last 3 months.
