Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you expect to be able to lead and suceed in our organization as quickly as possible?
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at EY (London, England)
Interview
Three stages, first was remote.
Really great impression from all the interviewers. The organisation, communication and feedback across the stages was very good.
In particular I appreciated the direct communication style and feedback - many interviewers remain vague but I found feedback throughout the process considered and helpful.
Quick and transparent process supported by their talent acquisition partners. Unlike many other hirers, they actually provided feedback following interviews! The interviews were mostly conversational and not relying on the STAR approach.
