It was very structured and professional. Not many rounds of interview and supportive HR practices. It was a case study discussion followed by presentation. It was followed by aptitude test and technical interview

It's very straight forward interview; very quick and fast; Too many questions in the group interview and then followed by 1:1; I would recommend EY to friends for career development.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked to walk through project delivery from initiation to execution
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EY (New York, NY) in Sep 2015
Interview
Very unorganized. Was supposed to meet with two partners and when I got there one of them ended up being out of the office so I ended up interviewing with a random cranky old man who was not happy that he had to interview someone on short notice as soon as he got into the office. He was from another service line who had no clue what he was talking about in regards to the role I was interviewing for, and what type of experience was necessary, and was very adversarial to every response I gave. They should have just cancelled the interview and re-scheduled when the original person (who was most versed in the job functions I'd have been performing) was available.

Question 1
Don't remember any questions. The interview with the first partner was more of an adversarial exchange with him regarding the experience we each had and how it differed. I tried to stay calm and reduce the snark involved in my responses as much as possinle, but that is very difficult to do when someone is constantly interrupting you and trying to tell you that the work you've done has been done "the wrong way" because it is not inline with the work they've done. The entire time I was thinking "dude...it's called client service....you perform services in line with client preferences, policies, and procedures while ensuring it complies with any applicable regulations...stop being a know it all."
