I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Bengaluru) in Jan 2015
Interview
Was called for a telephonic interview; Subsequently was called for a F2F interview and post the discussion had a HR interview where I was told I cleared the interview and I would have to have a discussion with the Exec Director and the Partner before being given an offer. A week and half later, I got a call asking to be available for a discussion with the ED. After waiting for an hour from the scheduled time, I tried reaching the board line numbers from where I got the call, but in vain. The number in BLR is never answered. Finally HR called me next week and told me that his team will schedule time with the ED and get back to me. Its been a week since, but no response and the HR is not even responding to messages. Quite appalled at the attitude of EY HR to prospective employees. While its understandable that an ED has a lot at stake, its the recruitment team to keep the candidates informed.
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
I applied online. I interviewed at EY (Hyderābād) in Mar 2026
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.
