What was the interview process like?

I got invited to Dallas for my final round interviews. On the night before the interviews, they hosted a networking event where I was able to meet a lot of EY employees and had the opportunity to give them my business card. I think giving them my business card definitely helped them remember me because after I was given the offer I had a couple people reach out to me asking if I had any questions.

During the interview process, I had one case study and 2 behavioral interviews, each 45 minutes long. Luckily, I knew I had my case study first because my EY Greeter told me, so I was able to mentally prepare for it. The case study focused on problems that could be solved by an ERP system. So I suggested the SAP domain of EY.

The two behavioral interviews were pretty straightforward. One of them wanted to have more of a conversation, looking for how I would fit into the culture. The other one went through a list of questions she had prepared, looking for more organization and communication skills. I had also prepared a portfolio on my tablet where I was able to show deliverables I had on certain projects. I only brought out my tablet whenever I was talking about a project I could show deliverables on. I also always asked the interviewer if it was okay to show them.

Advice to fellow students:

The business cards at networking events really helps people remember me. Especially since the EY employees probably talked to over 100+ students at that event, and another 100+ the night before. Also, the portfolio helps you stand out and shows that you can make deliverables. I would recommend using a tablet to show your tech savviness, but also bring paper copies in case.
