I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EY (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2020
Interview
Interview was very by-the-book and impersonal. The interviewer just read questions off that I had to answer and took notes the whole time. The second stage of the interview process the interviewer was boasting about his work and the company, trying to "sell", the company which took up the whole time and he didn't leave any time for me to ask questions.

Question 1
Explain a time when you had to overcome adversity in the workplace.
I was shortlisted after completing the assessment test and was then invited for an interview with the partner. The partner was kind, friendly, and approachable, which made the interview feel comfortable. The interview was relatively short and focused mainly on getting to know my background, experiences, and interest in the role.
