Behavioral Technical
Got contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn and shared my resume. There were two rounds of interviews: 1) first interview with two managers, 2) final interview with a senior manager/partner. The first interview was a mix of talking through my previous experience and leadership, and also going into technical topics around IT audit and security concepts.

EY's process has an initial screening, online assessments, behavioral and case interviews, and a final round with senior leadership. Candidates should expect multiple rounds of interviews that focus on technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and cultural fit. Initial Screening: A recruiter reviews applications and may do an initial phone or video call to evaluate fit and motivation. Online Assessments: This might include aptitude tests, coding challenges, and online job simulations with situational judgment, video, and written parts. Core Interviews: Usually there are several rounds with consultants and managers. These include a mix of behavioral interviews (using the STAR method) and individual or group case interviews to evaluate problem-solving and strategic thinking. Final Round: The last step typically has interviews with senior partners to assess leadership potential and team fit.

Technical Other
I had a frustrating experience with the recruitment process. After finishing an online assessment in the second week of March, I was notified a week later that the company wanted to move me to the next phase. I was told to wait for an invitation for a physical assessment and an interview with someone from the department. But that invitation never arrived. Even though I followed up, I was finally informed that the role would no longer be filled because of a change in priorities. During the whole process, communication from the recruiter was slow, and I usually only got updates after I chased them. Promised timelines were missed without any explanation. This whole experience left me with a very negative view of the company. Candidates put time and effort into these processes and should be treated with professionalism and respect. I hope the company rethinks how it deals with applicants and works on being more transparent and communicative.
