I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Riyadh) in Jan 2026
Interview
- Referred to a role I interviewed for within FRM
- First stage with Senior Manager
- Proceeded to second stage with Partner that said they had big plans over next 2 years
- Radio silence for a couple of weeks after which I tried to follow-up - no way to get any feedback
- Contacted the individual that referred me who said they want to hire me but there is a firm-wide hiring freeze.
- Continue to hear that the firm is hiring even within the same team so it seems they are just dishonest and give a straight rejection like normal people.
- I interviewed previously with different team a year and a half prior - similar outcome - no feedback whatsoever.
Molto semplice. Colloquio solo di tipo conoscitivo, pochissime domande tecniche e molto basilari. Mi è stato testato l'inglese, ma anche questo a livelli basilari. Specifico che il colloquio sia stato sostenuto però da figura junior, vale a dire.

I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at EY (London, England)
Interview
Three stages, first was remote.
Really great impression from all the interviewers. The organisation, communication and feedback across the stages was very good.
In particular I appreciated the direct communication style and feedback - many interviewers remain vague but I found feedback throughout the process considered and helpful.
Quick and transparent process supported by their talent acquisition partners. Unlike many other hirers, they actually provided feedback following interviews! The interviews were mostly conversational and not relying on the STAR approach.
