Interview
Applied directLY online for a unique scheme training IT professionals (with some financial services background) into IT Audit / Assurance /Advisory.
About 3 weeks later had a call from HR that my CV was interesting and a week later I was sat in front of a Senior Manager talking about my experience! That meeting lasted 45 minutes and dispelled my initial outlook of big 4 firms only being profit driven. The senior manager's friendly and open approach is what convinced my EY would be for me.
Needless to say I then had a second interview with a Director who was tougher in his questioning but also quite open and honest about his intentions for the growth he envisaged for his department and where I would fit in. I was offered the role on the day with the meeting being scheduled for 1 hour but taking about 40 minutes.

Interview
Questions on modelling experience
Testing for linear and logistic regression
Time series components.
Generic questions on profile.
Short interview for 30 mins
Not selected for second round.
Need modelling development or validation knowledge
Two steps, starting with a written test, continuing to a case presentation interview. The interview mainly discussed the case, followed by questions closer to a behavioral interview. The interview required quick thinking and insight gathering due to short time allowed for case preparation.
The process was relatively straightforward and moved quickly (total time was less than 2 weeks). It consisted of:
(1) Online application - submitting CV, cover letter etc. via the career portal
(2) Online assessment - takes about 1 hour, some quantitative questions, questions about behaviours etc.
(3) Phone call with recruiter
(4) In-person interview - less "formal", more conversational
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
