I applied online. I interviewed at EY (Moscou, ) in Feb 2020
Interview
A phone talk with HR manager. This was an interview for attending E&Y Campus. This program is for students in their 1st or 2nd year at the university. Firstly you write English. Maths and Verbal tests in Moscow office and if you do it successfully then you go to a phone interview. Phone interview is the last stage of selection.
Started with an online application, submitting a CV and filling out a short questionnaire, followed by an online test. After that I got invited to an in-person interview in two parts. One was a group work on a case study done with other candidates, followed by individual interviews with a member of the team.

The EY interview was professional, structured, and engaging. Interviewers were well-prepared, asked thoughtful questions, and clearly explained the role and firm culture. The conversation felt respectful and substantive, leaving a strong impression of EY’s people-focused, collaborative environment overall and welcoming.
