      Risk Advisory Program Interview

      13 Oct 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Saint Louis, MO
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Saint Louis, MO) in Oct 2014

      Interview

      I went through my university's campus interview process. You apply by sending a cover letter and your resume and then wait to hear back regarding if your request for an interview is accepted or declined. After the acceptance email, I was prompted to complete a timed online writing assessment. It wasn't too bad, very straightforward. The night before the campus interview, the recruiting team held an reception for candidates to talk to current staff members and mingle. The interview was about 30 minutes, and I spoke with a manager. No behavioral questions for me, but I know this isn't always the case; I think it really depends on who you interview with. We just had a very organic discussion about the practice, the firm, and the industry as well as a little bit about myself. A week later I received the invite for on-site interviews. There was another event the night before with the same intent of easing your nerves and allowing you to meet those that you might be working with in the future. The next day started off with a brief presentation, and then my group went straight to lunch with our assigned hosts. It was very casual, and it was great to be able to speak with people that were in the same position as you a year or so ago. Then, I was escorted to three 45-minutes interviews with various people within the practice. I had my case study right off the bat. Luckily, the guy didn't like the format, and it ended up being pretty relaxed. A little harder than the writing assessment but still relatively straightforward. Second, I talked to a partner. He had so much energy and was very casual, but I could obviously tell he was an extremely intelligent guy. Third, I had a manager who did ask me a few behavioral questions. However, it wasn't just him asking me questions and me answering. He turned it into more of a conversation and also told me why those questions were relevant. After the interview, I was told to wait about a week to hear back. Pleasantly, my interview was on Thursday, and I got the offer on Monday.

      Risk Advisory Program Interview

      11 Nov 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at EY (New York, NY) in Oct 2016

      Interview

      Applied through campus recruiting; had a 30 min behavioral interview. It involved pretty standard first round questions. The interviewer was pretty casual and easy to talk to, but I think it would be a mistake to mirror the interviewer; even if they act like its a casual conversation, make sure to 'wow' them.

      Question 1

      Walk me through your resume, tell me about yourself, why EY, why RAP, tell me about a time you faced adversity/conflict, worked on a team, etc.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at EY in Sept 2016

      Interview

      Definitely ace the pre-night. One thing to keep in mind is to not ask all your questions in pre-night. Leave some for your interview. During my interview, I ran out of questions and the interviewer kept pushing me for more questions. The interviewer just was not interested in me since he didn't ask any follow-up questions. He mainly just went through like 3-4 typical Big four interview questions and started to stare at the clock.

      Interview

      Nothing difficult. Manager was friendly and conversational, The first round interview is more about whether they can relate well with you. The HR never responded to my follow up mails on my progress in the recruitment process after the interview

      Question 1

      An example of a time you failed. Example to show your multitask ability.
