I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EY
Interview
Three very chill interviews:
1. With 2 managers and questions about CV and personal fit.
2. With 1 HR with mostly CV and personal fit questions.
3. With 1 manager and 1 senior manager, mostly CV and personal fit. One slightly technical portion with software related questions.
Important note: interns get €850/month pre-tax, and the role requires you to get accomodation in the city. Not nearly enough to live on, you'd basically pay to work for 6 months. When I brought up this concern upon receiving the offer, they claimed that they are among the highest paying in the country, which is false. I would consider the claim and the pay to be an attempt at deceiving and manipulating clueless graduates.
Furthermore, due to previous experience and qualifications, they could have easily offered an entry level position, but they chose not to.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the difference between a tuple and a list in python?
The interview was relatively straight forward and focused on my ability to articulate my skills and experiences as in my CV, aligning my expectations with theirs, and answering my questions on the company culture, job scope etc.
The interview process was lengthy. I completed online assessments before a final video interview, and I went in blind, with no idea what questions might come up. I'd recommend preparing example questions beforehand for the digital interview.
