I applied online. I interviewed at EY (Newcastle upon Tyne, England)
Interview
The interview process was fairly standard overall. I was asked a mix of strength based questions and questions regarding my CV, including questions around what “self-assessment” means, Alongside some technical questions relating to UK tax. The interviewers were professional and the process was well structured.
No interview completed due to being a spring insight week participant so the process was less rigorous compared to the grad scheme or summer internship programmes, for example. Question does not apply.
