I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Kuala Lumpur) in Mar 2009
Interview
I have submit my application to a Manager I know in the department I wanted to join and he in turn send in my resume to the Partner.
Your chances of employment will be higher if the Partner is interested in recruiting you as he will communicate this to the Human Resource department.
There are usually 2 rounds of interview with the first one with the HR followed by the Partner / Directors of the department. Depending on the departments you are joining, it may or may not include any assessment / test.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing in specific but Partners / HR personnel will be more keen to know that your intention of joining the firm is not purely monetary driven and you plan to stay for long term.
I applied online. I interviewed at EY (Bangalore Rural)
Interview
Questions on modelling experience
Testing for linear and logistic regression
Time series components.
Generic questions on profile.
Short interview for 30 mins
Not selected for second round.
Need modelling development or validation knowledge
Two steps, starting with a written test, continuing to a case presentation interview. The interview mainly discussed the case, followed by questions closer to a behavioral interview. The interview required quick thinking and insight gathering due to short time allowed for case preparation.
The process was relatively straightforward and moved quickly (total time was less than 2 weeks). It consisted of:
(1) Online application - submitting CV, cover letter etc. via the career portal
(2) Online assessment - takes about 1 hour, some quantitative questions, questions about behaviours etc.
(3) Phone call with recruiter
(4) In-person interview - less "formal", more conversational
