Interviewed Feb 2010 in Gurgaon, Haryana (India) (took 2 days)
5 Tier process
1st - Aptitude Test on lines of entrance exams of B-schools in India - no negative marking though, so mark as many questions randomly even if you don't know the answer. Need a minimum score and mostly everyone sails through this part
2nd - HR round. They will ask you about what you know about Ey.
3rd - Interview with your to-be supervisor. Standard questions on why you want to work with Ey and not other big four. What are your plans for future esp. future education (they don't want to take people who have given any entrance exams). A case study may be given.
4th Round - Manager round: Can talk of extra-curricular activities taken up and why didn't you pursue them as a career. Future plans, Five year plans/Ten year plans/expectations from the work place
5th Round - Interview with Partner: Stress Test. To see how do you respond under stress. Talk about perseverance, hard work and seeing good.bad things as opportunities
You earn Brownie points in the interview rounds if
-you read up stuff related to Job Description (such as if you are interviewed for auditor independence team - have a basic idea of what an audit is, what is meant by independence, role of SEC in USA, some basic rules regarding independence, etc.)
- Ask the interviewer insightful questions about the job, show them that you are genuinely interested in the knowing your job profile, and the want to learn and making a decision on that (and not the brand value of the firm)
Interview Questions
If you want to go to a venture capitalist and ask for a loan for a new product in your business, what exactly will be the parameters/figures that you will give in a single page to convince?
Given the Satyam Scam, as an accounting/auditing firm, give one thing that should have done to avoid (and was not done) to maintain auditor independence and could have avoided the collusion?
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and an IQ/Intelligence Test.

GD & PI...
I got this interview thru campus recruitment....
GD was on a current topic and some were for it and few against it... They were mainly checking on communication skills and how good as a listener u are....Those who were not willing to listen to others were chucked out...
The interview was also good with a less number of technical questions and a few situation based questions.... The focus was more on HR and mostly on PERSON - ORGANIZATION FIT & PERSON _ JOB FIT....

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Gurgaon, Haryana (India) (took a day)
The process started with a group discussion. The GD had normal and current topics. They were basically looking for calmness, clarity of thought and communication. GD also required us to give a personal introduction at the beginning..You could have created a positive impression right there.
2nd round consisted of a personal interview basically focusing on HR and a little bit of technical.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in New Delhi (India) (took 6 months)
I forwarded my CV in mid January 2011 for Government Business (GoB). I received the first call on 19th February from Executive HR. I was told about my referee. She asked a few basic details like current employer, CTC, Notice Period, Designation and current profile etc. Later on I received one mail from the same HR asking me to reply by filling one attached EY CV template. Within a week, I received another mail from one Senior Consultant who asked me to share my CV in yet another E&Y format. In next week, I got a call from the same Senior Con. He asked me about my existing work profile.
Nothing happened for around 20-25 days. Then I received another call from senior HR who asked me in detail about my profile and all HR questions. She also briefed me about the Project, location and the profile for which I was being interviewed.
On 11th May 2011, I got a call from Project Management Consultant. She quoted my referer and asked for my convenient time for the telephonic Interview. The interview happened the same week. It lasted for 80 minutes! From simple introduction to my summer internship and current work, we discussed a few case studies as well. These cases were related to Government Projects, implentation, monitoring and reporting. I was given time to prepare for my case study and was asked if I would prefer a call back. But I preferred to continue without opting for extra time in case studies. I was basically evaluated on my business and project understanding. At the end, the interviewer asked me about my proficiency with MS package like Visio, Excel and MPP. Interview ended with typical statement, "I will share my feedback with my Manager and then we will get back to you".
Later on I got to know that I was being hired for her team!
By the end of May, I was told that I had cleared the previous round of Interview and would have to wait for the Partner round.
In June end, I was asked for Partner round interview which I declined for my unavailability during that time.
We postponed it and finally the Partner round was schedule on 18th July 2011!
On 18th July, I appeared for Partner round interview at E&Y HT Office, CP, New Delhi. It lasted for around 60 minutes. It was a detailed discussion. There was nothing sort of Interview. No pressure, no technical questions. The Partner offered me Security Auditor profile and asked my comfort. I preferred Advisory Services.
On 20th July, I was informed that I had cleared Partner Round and would soon get a call from HR!

Interviewed Feb 2011 in New Delhi (India) (took 2 weeks)
I came from Industry background and not much of prior consulting experience. I was interviewed by 4 different people, 2 partners and 2 directors at EY in Delhi. I guess they wanted to make sure that I can take up the role of being a subject matter expert in the advisory services.
