I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at EY (Montreal, QC) in Sep 2024
Interview
There was a very relaxed interview process. There were no technical interviews—only behavioural interviews. My 30-minute slot with a partner was more of a conversation than an interview. The other interview was with a manager. Very conversational as well. Everyone was very friendly in the office.
Try telling stories to impress the recruitment team, and it's kinda hard to do so. Also the timer appearing when answering quiz, all the things are making you nervous throughout the one-way video interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Any experience of leadership?
Any experience of failure?
First round behaviourals and casing, second round plain behavioural with motivation etc. The casing was audit related, with some technicals and then a case about a small firm, and expected difficulties and other regarding auditing.
The interview process was pretty smooth, with the interviews being virtual, and more of a walkthrough of my resume with multiple interviewers. I also found that preparing for follow up questions and pitching myself as a candidate through stories in college was a very helpful approach.
