I applied in-person. I interviewed at EY in Sept 2022
Interview
This is an entry-level position. The selection process begins with a test, followed by two interview stages: first with a group of managers, then with a Partner. If successful, you will complete a six-month internship, which may lead to a permanent contract at the end.
Was quick and easy. One interview, talked to two people during the interview. Was asked about previous experience at a different CPA firm. Took a while for them to call me back (about a month) then we set a start date pretty far in the future.

Question 1
They asked me to describe the audits I previously worked on.
The interview process begins with an HR call, followed by a technical round focusing on fundamentals of accounting and audit. The final stage is a Partner round, which emphasizes behavioral traits and cultural fit within the firm. Each stage assesses different competencies essential for the role and long-term success.
