Please describe the interview process and assessments.
The last time I interviewed it was for an internship role. There was online testing, a group assessment and then an interview with 1-2 ppl from upper management
Graduate, Perth
One face-face interview and group activity.
Graduate, Perth
I felt the interviewers were very welcoming and natural. Good organisation and structure. Questions asked were relevant. I liked the task of being a case study but the psychometric tests were quite long. I don't believe it was an accurate reflection of my competency as a worker. Namely the mathematical questions. But I appreciated the email and company fit questions.
Graduate, Sydney
The interview process was straight forward. The only issue I had was only having one group interview day with a week's notice which I couldn't attend so was initially cut from the process.
Midlevel, Perth
The interview and assessment process is very straight forward. After applying I completed two online assessments and was then invited to a recruitment day which involved an interview and group assessment task. Interviews were conducted by two members of the team I was applying for and the group assessment required a team of five to present on a case study for a panel.
Graduate, Sydney
Assessment centre with group activities and individual interview.

There were quite a few steps when applying as a graduate. The assessments took a lot of time out of my day because I wanted to succeed.

Positive, the recruiter was in contact throughout the process, had the opportunity to meet members from the team that I was joining

Campus recruitment usually involves a rich application process of your transcript, your CV, a video intro and a written piece on your desire to work with the firm. Upon successful shortlisting, candidates are invited to an assessment day which involves a 1:1 interview with a business/ team representative and a group activity

Graduate, Perth
Be confident in your interview but not too confident
Graduate, Perth
I would encourage them to understand why they value the company and the specific service line. To make this personal and specific rather than a generic response. To do their research and reach out to people in that role so they can leverage a genuine understanding of the position/company.
Graduate, Sydney
To really focus on being able to explain how you operate in a team environment.
Midlevel, Perth
The best advice I can give is to reach out to people in the team you are applying for to get a thorough understanding of the day to day work and culture. Not only does this give you more information about the role/team, it demonstrates a real interest in joining the firm and team you are applying for.
Graduate, Sydney
Understand why they want to join this team.
Midlevel, Sydney
Do research about EY as a company as have specific reasons as to why you want that role in that area. Be friendly and show your personal side.

Be authentic, apply to something that piques your interest, reflect on why you want a role or to work for a particular firm, understand your value-proposition (... and be able to articulate it), do your research about the firm and team beforehand and ask lots of questions that demonstrate our genuine curiosity .
