I applied in-person. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at EY (Dubai) in Feb 2015
Interview
Interview with hr and senior managers, regarding motivation, previous experience, expectation, company overview. Process was a bit long (too much time between one interview and the following one). No business cases were asked.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at EY (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Dec 2015
Interview
- Worse conducted interview
- EY GSS is very different from EY India
- The profile stated, they need candidates with background in M&A, Divestitures, Corp Finance. Candidates from McKinsey, KPMG, BCG et al (let God wonder why will they come here.
- Actually the profile was of Pursuits (in simple english its called "Profiling")
- People from every background came for the interview process, sales guys, people with no financial modeling experience, people who even did not have any idea of relative valuation...forget DCF or reverse DCF.
- For an opening that was supposedly into M&A or Corporate Finance. Its Very Strange!

Question 1
- Interview Started at 9 AM ended at 5.30 PM, I being the sole candidate standing til the end
- The written tests (school level) were all into calculating working capital, excel stuffs, working on a small case study and basic valuation calculation.
- In the last round it was a basic 5 minutes one, the Manager was eager to go home, as his cab was waiting. He asked a basic question, what is organic growth?. Too kiddish I guess. Grow up!
- I am happy that I declined to go ahead, I seem to have much better knowledge that the manager. Good luck to him!
