For the SOC Analyst role at EY during campus placements, the selection process usually starts with resume-based shortlisting rather than any online aptitude test. Candidates whose profiles align with EY’s cybersecurity requirements are invited for two interview rounds.
The first round is a technical interview, where most questions are based on the candidate’s resume. Interviewers typically ask about projects, internships, certifications, SOC fundamentals, SIEM tools, log analysis, incident handling steps, and basic cybersecurity concepts to understand the candidate’s practical exposure.
Candidates who clear this stage proceed to the second round, which is the HR interview. This round focuses on communication skills, cultural fit, career goals, strengths and weaknesses, and understanding of EY’s work environment. The HR round also includes discussions about relocation, work flexibility, compensation (if applicable), and future growth opportunities.
