I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EY in Feb 2022
Interview
I talked to 2 senior managers and 1 principal for 45 minutes each. The conversations were very informal and did not seem like they were guided in any way. Each started out kind of similar: tell me about your background and why move to EY. There was little to no discussion of skills or experience in things that directly related to the job. I had to try to work these mentions in wherever I could. The irony is that I was rejected because I didn't have the skills they need (even though they made no effort to assess that). At the beginning of one interview, I was forced to remove articles of clothing (my suit jacket and tie) before beginning the interview. The interviewer refused to continue until I did so. This behavior is super problematic and a huge red flag for EY as an employer if they are forcing people to remove clothing during a recorded interview, what else are they doing when they are not being recorded?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Can you tell me about your background and experience?
Q: Why are you looking to move into consulting?
Q: Who is a mentor to you? Why?
3 rounds, including a case study. Very classic consulting interview you could imagine.
Be well prepared and show your industry knowledge. Present your answer in an organised manner
Also, show your can do attitude as it is important
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at EY (Neu-Delhi) in May 2026
Interview
I had interviewed for a Manager role at EY. I already informed them during the initial call that I have a total of 6.6 years of experience. After that, they scheduled my L1 interview round, which I cleared successfully. However, I was rejected in the L2 round because they were looking for candidates with 8+ years of experience for a leadership role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
>> Regarding experience
>> About project
>> Do I know certain technologies which was required for the role ?
Three interviews spanning a month; there was efficient scheduling over email. All interviews were virtual and the interviewers had escalating seniority... everyone who I spoke with was pleasant. medium-plus difficulty
