I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Dallas, TX) in Mar 2015
Interview
Applied via the company careers portal and had received an email some weeks later from one of the Asst. Directors of Talent recruiting requesting a phone interview.
The interview was of standard nature and the interviewer was very pleasant. As the phone discussion concluded, the interviewer stated that she had a few more candidates to interview and that I would receive a response back within the week.
I did receive a personal email response back from the interviewer stating that after a "difficult decision" process, they decided to move forward with other candidates.
Shortly after, I noticed on LinkedIn that there was a posting for a Project Manager position at EY with a remarkably similar description of the position I had interviewed for. When I had contacted the Assistant Director back inquiring about the similarity, she had explained that this new posting was indeed the same position I had interviewed for and that they had re-posted the position under a different name. Additionally, she said the position was filled with an internal candidate.
I would have appreciated a bit more honesty on the firm's part regarding open Project Manager positions at EY rather than going through the motions of wasting candidate's time when they already knew they were going to fill the position with an internal candidate. Not a very positive representation of the firm's culture.
Really good. Strong panel who challenged me, just not enough to make me think it was the worth the move to London from Spain. I liked the office too, people seemed happy. Just not for me

Interview
The overall interview experience was disappointing and lacked professionalism.
During the L1 interview, the HR team was unable to arrange a panel on time, resulting in a delay of about 15 minutes before the panel joined. The questions asked were quite basic and did not reflect adequate preparation, especially for a Product Manager role. Questions such as “What is a backlog?” and “How do you resolve conflict?” seemed too elementary for the position. Additionally, the panel did not introduce themselves and began questioning immediately. It was also concerning that the panel kept their cameras off while expecting the candidate to keep theirs on.
For the L2 round, there was noticeable improvement. The HR team ensured the panel was arranged properly, and the questions were more relevant. However, it felt at times that the focus shifted towards showcasing the interviewer’s expertise rather than assessing the candidate effectively.
Overall, considering the reputation of EY, I expected a more structured and professional interview process. Another concern was the HR’s demeanor, which at times came across as rude and inefficient.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
very basic
What is a backlog
How do you resolve conflicts
Screening video call was detailed but the person interviewing wrote everything down meaning it wasn't conversational, would have been better to record or transcribe the call. The questions were topical to the role but it wasn't the right person to be asking them if they need to write down all answers.
