I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EY (London, England) in Mar 2020
Interview
Stage 3 Numerical:
Very simple, consisted of ratios, percentages and quick math. My advice is to complete under 15 minutes and be familiar with how to read tabled and graphs. Also the questions seem harder than what they actually are. Don't overthink. They are testing your speed though maintain that they don't. I think they mean to say that they want to see how confident you are with numbers.

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.
