I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Riyad) in Jan 2026
Interview
- Referred to a role I interviewed for within FRM
- First stage with Senior Manager
- Proceeded to second stage with Partner that said they had big plans over next 2 years
- Radio silence for a couple of weeks after which I tried to follow-up - no way to get any feedback
- Contacted the individual that referred me who said they want to hire me but there is a firm-wide hiring freeze.
- Continue to hear that the firm is hiring even within the same team so it seems they are just dishonest and give a straight rejection like normal people.
- I interviewed previously with different team a year and a half prior - similar outcome - no feedback whatsoever.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at EY (Hong Kong) in Sep 2023
Interview
3rounds interview. First round self intro. Second round team head, third round partner - it took me 2-3 months to get an offer. Canto, English and mandarin. Salary increment as requested
Three interviews spanning a month; there was efficient scheduling over email. All interviews were virtual and the interviewers had escalating seniority... everyone who I spoke with was pleasant. medium-plus difficulty
