J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez EY (New York, NY) en oct. 2015
Entretien
I was referred by an EY employee. Very poor experience overall. The recruiter scheduled a phone screen but did not call at the scheduled time. I had to follow-up and then received an abrupt call from the recruiter. No apologies or explanation. Was asked a few general profile related questions. The recruiter wasn't sure about where to forward my profile and instead asked me dig through the career portal and identify job codes. I replied back with the jobs that I was interested in. Did not receive a response for a week. Followed up a week later and another phone screen was scheduled. The phone screen was then again rescheduled last minute. On the day of the phone screen, I again did not receive the call from the recruiter and had to instead call her. The recruiter asked exactly the same questions that she asked the first time. She assured that we'll be moving forward soon with the opportunities for which I had expressed interest. Did not receive any response from the recruiter even after following multiple times over a period of 2 more weeks.
Very disappointing experience. Not expected at all from a Big 4 firm.
Lack of early alignment between role level, responsibilities, and candidate expectations, which made it difficult to understand where I realistically fit in the process
Insufficient transparency around interview purpose and seniority of the roles being assessed, which created confusion about what stage was actually evaluating
Shifting role direction during the process (different levels discussed at different stages), rather than a consistent hiring path
Compensation expectations were not clearly addressed upfront, despite being shared early in the process
Overall process felt unstructured in terms of matching candidate profile to the right role level before progressing through interviews, which made the experience feel somewhat inefficient and frustrating as a candidate
Interview process is relatively straight forward. HR is very responsive. 2 stages altogether, 1 with a director and another with the partner. Reasonable questions asked during interviews. Got offer in less than 1 week. Overall positive experience and

Entretien
A screening call from friendly HR staff in the Philipines, follow HR screening by UK based HR staff, 1st competency screening 60 mins, 2nd competency screening 90 mins, from the 1st competency screening the interview coordination became hectic as if they didn't not comunicate internally, different people were invited to interview and different people joined, the focus on interview was completely different to what it was mentioned by their HR. Lack of coordination by the HR was outrageous.
