Hmm, it was definitely rigid. I spent about 40 minutes and believe me they asked all sorts of questions. This one pass behavioral interview o or About EY. Believe me it got to a point i was wondering if nah only me waka come

I tried my best but as the questions kept deviating from the norm, anxiety got the better of me. At some point my brain went completely down that if they had asked 2+2, i would have said 22

If at all there is anyone left having their interviews, just know that "What ever you say will be drastically used against you during the interview".

blazin.kings abeg pass me cold orijin my brain never cool down.

Am just praying for positive feedback because it was definitely rigid. At some point I contradicted my statements. And my response was used against me. Anyway sha, I hope I will escape this stage the way I did other stages.

My question is what's the criterion for a favourable feedback from the panel?

My dear let us just hope for the best.

dameezzyy believe me, time didn't matter, when their values was saying "people with energy" I thought it was child's play. they were more than active.

nena2014 we can only hope at this point, trust me i contradicted myself too, in fact they asked me 1 accounting question that i would have broken to pieces if my brain was working fine lol. cuz I couldn't see a transaction, to make imaginary debit and credit was confusing.

I believe they are not doing this for the first time and trust me they've seen it all. making some contradictions might not be entirely new to them.

It's like it was rigid for you guys going into assurance with a financial background. Anyone from advisory to tell his d experience at d interview? I Hope for a positive feedback tho'...Ey is a great place and I like what they stand for

Why not share your experience if you have been interviewed. I went for advisory n my background is Engineering. Its the same cos they will really interrogate you.

I went in for advisory and my background is Engineering as well. It didn't feel like a grilling to me (that's if I compare it to my KPMG experience) but like I said earlier, on my interview day, they were really behind so they didn't have much time really grill us.

My fellow Engineer in d house. Maybe d timing was another factor. How did the KPMG matter end?
God go see all of us through in our hustle.

I went for transaction advisory line and really it was a good experience, they were very active they basically asked behavioral questions and questions bout ey ,,I was excited from like the 3rd minute of.d interview cause the first two minutes I was nervous but I was quick to sink in,I studied economics so wen we talked about the transaction advisory line d whole tin waas jus comfortable with me ,,they were nice sha

Who else is for transactions advisory services?

Coming late but still My own Experience .......Went for advisory services also. Was asked if it was because of my engineering background .. was grilled mainly on my passed experience though ... Gave detailed explanation on the kind of work i did n all ......

This is something that i can give a detailed explaination if u wake me up from sleep sef ..... was able to say somethings tho ..... Then they saw on my CV that i put French (intermediate level) and they said i should run the rest of the interview in french ..reintroduced myself and all.... Generally, Awesome experience, Loved it ...... The AC for there ehn .... e enter body reach my heart .. Best of luck guys .....

izeko, which day was your interview? is there still interview going on? blazingkings, bobbydris, nena2014, oyocorper, PhilipGallagher, emike92 et al, do any of you guys have an idea of when feedbacks will roll in?

Bros I have no idea o, but soon. From the look of things EY won't be taking a whole lot this year, probably 2 or 3 scores of people but I wish you the best. I think the next stage is with a Partner but I don't know how soon that would be.

Thanks bruv, but i doubt the next stage is going to be an interview with a partner, from past threads it should be AC then offer letters. about not recruiting much, the last recruitment they did was 2 years ago, but I don't think they can recruit more that 3 scores as well.

This thread dry sha, *sips tea* even the information here would barely serve those who might need to access it.

Lets wait till thursday/friday, since EY loves giving feedbacks on those days judging from past events.

I had my interview today.
I think this is probably my most relaxing/entertaining interview I have done so far(just 3 in total though).

My background is core engineering and my past experiences have been with engineering firms save NYSC. So, I wasn't so optimistic about this stage as I thought I may not fit in.

The normal first question came as expected, please introduce yourself. I was so tensed as I was just about pouring out all I had memorized but they brilliantly interrupted me, telling me that what they want is a conversation and that just eased off the whole tension.

I spoke about myself extensively trying to always fit myself into those values listed on their website. My NYSC experience really helped out as I did show leadership, energy, enthusiasm, team-player, integrity and those other stuff listed.

I was then asked a question that almost took me off balance. What will you do if in a month time you started working with EY, a major IOC offers you employment? I was able to maneuver my way through as I had to tell them that most IOCs are not really recruiting just degree holders as they most times request for experience which EY is a good platform for me as I have an eye for top-level management position later in my career.

Other questions include;
Considering Nigeria's present economic situation, give us two (2) policies each of this present administration that are good to be encouraged and that which is not and how will I improve of them. Luckily for me, I had prepared to attend a bank interview last weekend so I just used the little knowledge I had gained about TSA and FG borrowing plan.

What are EY core values?

The last experience on your CV shows NYSC, what have you been doing ever since you passed out till now?

Which specific area will you like to function?
Don't worry too much about this if you are like me that is new to all of the areas, as it was stated that the trainings will equip in whatsoever function you fit in.
I had a funny response to this question; "To be frank and plain, I didn't know much about this company till I was sent an invite for interview (I applied myself and wrote test too), as I just had to research the company and I was intrigued by what I found out about this company. It is stated that the company encourages inclusiveness and I'll always get my fit in here, so I came".


What are your hobbies?
I mentioned sports (football), one of them jokingly said I look like a footballer, then we all laughed.
I also mentioned books. Then I was told to talk about the current book I am reading and any other one. Funny enough, the book I'm currently reading is a spiritual book about making it to heaven and one of the interviewer asked if I think I will make it to Heaven. I said YES!

In total, it was about 30-40mins and a very lively one.
I hope for the best.

I know this is long and may have revealed a lot but I had to do this long post as I have always benefited greatly from this platform too in my job search.

Gracias.
