I applied online. I interviewed at EY (Cluj-Napoca) in Mar 2022
Interview
In this technical test, there was 20 coding question (Java, MYSQL, JavaScript). They tested how I think through many coding problems. It was interesting because it wasn't a test of what I already knew (I had never seen the language we were using in that exercise) but rather seeing how I learn when introduced to something new. That session didn't feel like I was being interviewed but more like solving a challenge, through which I was being supported the whole way through. I could ask as many questions as I needed to about things I was unsure about.
Introduction, two questions about the financial reports, aksed the difference between key financial reports. asked if can handle overtime. Was pretty chill, nothing too difficult, recieved offer about 3 days later.

The process typically begins with an online application where candidates submit academic details, work experience, and competency-based responses. Shortlisted applicants usually complete online assessments covering numerical reasoning, situational judgement, and behavioural profiling. Successful candidates then progress to a video interview and often an assessment centre involving case studies, group exercises, and partner or manager interviews. The process assesses technical potential, commercial awareness, communication skills, teamwork, and alignment with EY’s values.
