I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at EY (Nairobi) in Oct 2011
Interview
Fair, balanced and quite challenging. The panel was quite engaging and they displaying a high level of professionalism and openness. They were friendly and also granted the interviewee an opportunity to ask questions. The questions though were quite technical and required good preparation, this is however expected given the nature of the role advertised. Overall, the interview process was very smooth and not tense at all.
