I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at EY (London, England) in Jan 2020
Interview
One of the worst companies to interview for. I completed the written round and it took the company more than a month to get back. No updates in between.
The interview was scheduled and rescheduled couple of times after that.
On the day of the interview the panel joined. One of the worst that I have seen till date. One couldn't frame questions properly but kept on interrupting while I was answering. The other hardly had any questions.
After two days the HR got back saying the feedback was mixed and they want to offer a lower band with a lower salary.

Question 1
Tell me something about yourself that's not on the resume.
Two rounds of interview. First with Senior Manager or Director. Final with Partner. First mostly technical, second more relaxed, seeing fit and all that. Overall chill and not that bad

Question 1
Mostl around previous experience and things in my CV
Straight forward process. Not very thorough and interviewer asked fairly basic questions. Didn't give much information about the company, clients or culture which would have been useful. Seemed fairly disinterested.
Fast two‑round processes where both interviews are directly with Directors or Partners, combined with immediate HR scheduling after an online application, usually signal a high‑priority vacancy and a shortlist that’s already been narrowed. It often means they’re moving quickly to secure strong candidates and want decision‑makers involved early to avoid delays.
