I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Kuala Lumpur) in Jun 2015
Interview
Interviewer was conducted with the partner and a manager, it was rather formal. Attempted a case study beforehand and was discussed during the interview. They asked a good mix of questions, general - get to know you kind of questions to see how your personality is like, scenario based questions - how you handle conflicts, issues, technical questions based on your work experience - they want to see your thought process and your expertise.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself, how do you manage a team, why EY.
Two rounds of interview. First with Senior Manager or Director. Final with Partner. First mostly technical, second more relaxed, seeing fit and all that. Overall chill and not that bad

Question 1
Mostl around previous experience and things in my CV
Straight forward process. Not very thorough and interviewer asked fairly basic questions. Didn't give much information about the company, clients or culture which would have been useful. Seemed fairly disinterested.
Fast two‑round processes where both interviews are directly with Directors or Partners, combined with immediate HR scheduling after an online application, usually signal a high‑priority vacancy and a shortlist that’s already been narrowed. It often means they’re moving quickly to secure strong candidates and want decision‑makers involved early to avoid delays.
