I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at EY (Singapore) in Dec 2021
Interview
Non-audit, experienced hire position. 3 rounds of interview. First interview was with hiring Partner. Second interview was with Partner-level of another division. Third interview was with one level above the vacancy. Around 2 months from the first interview to verbal offer stage.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A mixture of structure interview questions, general discussion (CV, previous working experience, what motivates you, etc.) As the candidate, I spent around half of the interview asking questions to the interviewers - to find out what the role entails, what is the work like, etc. Some interviews were more intense - need to think quickly at spot. Some interviews were more relax.
Lack of early alignment between role level, responsibilities, and candidate expectations, which made it difficult to understand where I realistically fit in the process
Insufficient transparency around interview purpose and seniority of the roles being assessed, which created confusion about what stage was actually evaluating
Shifting role direction during the process (different levels discussed at different stages), rather than a consistent hiring path
Compensation expectations were not clearly addressed upfront, despite being shared early in the process
Overall process felt unstructured in terms of matching candidate profile to the right role level before progressing through interviews, which made the experience feel somewhat inefficient and frustrating as a candidate
Interview process is relatively straight forward. HR is very responsive. 2 stages altogether, 1 with a director and another with the partner. Reasonable questions asked during interviews. Got offer in less than 1 week. Overall positive experience and

Interview
A screening call from friendly HR staff in the Philipines, follow HR screening by UK based HR staff, 1st competency screening 60 mins, 2nd competency screening 90 mins, from the 1st competency screening the interview coordination became hectic as if they didn't not comunicate internally, different people were invited to interview and different people joined, the focus on interview was completely different to what it was mentioned by their HR. Lack of coordination by the HR was outrageous.
