Interview
The interview was much easier compared to that of other consulting companies. I was asked a market sizing question in addition to behavioral ones. Also, I went over my resume and explained my internships in more detail.
Numerical, verbal, and inductive reasoning test before brief phone interview. After that, a halfday assessment center starting with a briefing of EY, their business areas, etc. Then followed a one-on-one interview with a consultant, and then a short case study. The case study was somewhat unconventional as I was left with some information, and 20 minutes alone to prepare a 15 minute presentation. Otherwise, no surprises. Finally, I had to meet with a partner from a preferred business area for interview/conversation to determine personal fit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
With 10 minutes left of the interview, the consultant I interviewed for wanted me to guess different things about him, such as if he had a drivers licence, what kind of sports he did when he was young. I do not think this is regular practice though.
