I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at EY in Apr 2011
Interview
Approximately one month after having submitted my online application I was invited to do some online-based skills tests testing logical thinking, verbal understanding and numerical skills. After that I was contacted by HR and invited to an assessment center where I was given overall company information along with 10 other people. I was also given a profitability case and 30 minutes to prepare a 30 minute presentation. The assessment center ended with a one hour interview including an estimation case.
The next step was an online language test plus an online personality test. This was followed by a one hour character interview with HR. After this I got to meet the manager of a team for a really nice one hour chat/discussion, and the last step was a one hour interview/chat with a partner.
In all, a pretty long and thorough process. The assessment day was the most difficult in my mind.
The interview lasted about an hour and was highly technical, covering topics in depth. The detailed discussion suggests genuine interest in evaluating my skills, experience, problem-solving abilities, and overall fit for the role.
Two technical rounds one from EY and another round from client both interviews were conducted for one hour and covered questions on java, Spring boot, microservices, react.js, system design , coding, Hibernate
