I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Cochin) in Apr 2021
Interview
I got a call from an external recruiter. Gave the Hirevue assessment and within 2 working days got a call from EY's HR. Cleared 1st and 2nd round of interviews within a week and was informed about another round of interview with case study. However, did not receive any update from HR. When I called her back for an update, she said will let me know. I waited for a month and then dropped an email, only to get an immediate revert with the standard rejection email. Wrote back for feedback, but didn't receive any yet revert.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself and Why you want to join this company
Two rounds of interview. First with Senior Manager or Director. Final with Partner. First mostly technical, second more relaxed, seeing fit and all that. Overall chill and not that bad
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostl around previous experience and things in my CV
Straight forward process. Not very thorough and interviewer asked fairly basic questions. Didn't give much information about the company, clients or culture which would have been useful. Seemed fairly disinterested.
Fast two‑round processes where both interviews are directly with Directors or Partners, combined with immediate HR scheduling after an online application, usually signal a high‑priority vacancy and a shortlist that’s already been narrowed. It often means they’re moving quickly to secure strong candidates and want decision‑makers involved early to avoid delays.
