I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at EY (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Dec 2015
Interview
- Worse conducted interview
- EY GSS is very different from EY India
- The profile stated, they need candidates with background in M&A, Divestitures, Corp Finance. Candidates from McKinsey, KPMG, BCG et al (let God wonder why will they come here.
- Actually the profile was of Pursuits (in simple english its called "Profiling")
- People from every background came for the interview process, sales guys, people with no financial modeling experience, people who even did not have any idea of relative valuation...forget DCF or reverse DCF.
- For an opening that was supposedly into M&A or Corporate Finance. Its Very Strange!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Interview Started at 9 AM ended at 5.30 PM, I being the sole candidate standing til the end
- The written tests (school level) were all into calculating working capital, excel stuffs, working on a small case study and basic valuation calculation.
- In the last round it was a basic 5 minutes one, the Manager was eager to go home, as his cab was waiting. He asked a basic question, what is organic growth?. Too kiddish I guess. Grow up!
- I am happy that I declined to go ahead, I seem to have much better knowledge that the manager. Good luck to him!
First round _ Manager
Second round _ Director or senior manager
Final round _ Partner round
Once you clear all the rounds HR will connect you. Hr will discuss the compensation and will tell you the basic policies of the company
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at EY (Cochin) in Nov 2025
Interview
I went for a walk in interview. The questions were moderate to hard level. But somehow I was able to clear the rounds. 1st round was virtual only from the company premise and 2nd round was mostly managerial which was in person
The interview process was smooth and well-organized. It provided clarity and confidence, ultimately helping me secure the position. Overall, it was a very good experience and I’m grateful for it
