I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at EY in May 2016
Interview
Interview process took 30 minutes, was a stress interview conducted by the director himself. Email says manager but no information was given to me about the change. Highly stressful and challenging interview but nonetheless unique in my experience. Interview started on time as well and it was a one to one session.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Introduce yourself.
2. Attacks a personal trait or characteristic of yours. Eg, speech and personality.
3. Questions past job experiences
4. Reasons for not going back to previous job and performance there.
5. General questions about problem solving
6. Personal questions about school, family, etc
The entire time the interviewer seems breathless, restless and constantly walks around.
Protip: They don't tell you it's a stress interview at the end. Be aware, brave, clam and don't take their emotional actions towards you as the results of the interview.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at EY (Kyiv, ) in Jun 2012
Interview
I applied for the position online just after my graduation in 2012.
EY has 4 stages of staff hiring:
1. Tests (numerical & verbal reasoning, English - multiple choice via computer, accounting - multiple choice + calculation on paper).
2. Interview with HR.
3. Interview with manager (the most important stage, when basically whether you will be hired is decided).
4. Interview with partner.
The whole process of hiring is very long - it can take up to 4 months.
I successfully pass the first two stages. My test results were not outstanding, but it is not so important, because how you act on interview is essential. On my second interview I was nervous, and could not crack some numbers. Also, I refuse to change my mind in relation to one behavioral question, although interviewers gave me hints that they expect different answer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First interview
Standard HR questions like your plans for the 5, 10 years, strengths and weaknesses, communication skills etc.
Second interview
Some specific questions related to accounting - like depreciation, assets' revaluation, cost of sales etc. - and behavioral questions:
1. Describe how will you act in case you are sure that your team leader is mistaken, and refuse to admit it? Whether you will contact someone higher in a hierarchy or try to deal with it directly inside your team?
