The process was relatively straightforward and moved quickly (total time was less than 2 weeks). It consisted of:
(1) Online application - submitting CV, cover letter etc. via the career portal
(2) Online assessment - takes about 1 hour, some quantitative questions, questions about behaviours etc.
(3) Phone call with recruiter
(4) In-person interview - less "formal", more conversational
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself
*tip: be prepared with questions to ask the interviewer
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at EY in Jul 2010
Interview
I called up the HR contact which was given in a job posting by EnY. In a discussion with her, she told me about an opening with the transaction advisory services which would fit in with my prior work experience. I agreed for the interview. She discussed it with the manager of the relevant department and an interview was scheduled for the very next day.
The interview lasted for about 45 minutes. The interviewer was quite professional and at the same time, put me at my ease. Following questions were asked:
- my previous work experience
- different valuation methodologies
- relative valuation
- examples of sector specific multiples
- DCF valuation
- comfort with relocation
The whole process was very quick,efficient and professional. I liked the fact that the interviewer asked me questions pertinent to my work exp. and the position I was interviewing for. No time was wasted in asking inane questions. I asked the interviewer about the kind of work culture EnY has and the impression I got from his answer, was that people took the initiative for their work and there was enough freedom to do things your way,provided you got the work done.
All in all,I got a very favourable impression of a professional work environment.

Question 1
Why is debt not considered while forecasting the future cash flows in DCF?
Overall good experience. 2 rounds of interview. Got to know results in 1 day. Smooth process. Interview was scheduled online. Three interviewers were present. Covered technical questions and skills i know.
the application process is starting from looking in the LinkedIn. After that, they refer to the EY website. From this you can see the requirement for the job applicant. Depends on the role whether the company expect quite experience on organization and academic. The most important they put a highlight is being active on organization which they know how social you are.
