All the experiences with EY UK, London office recruitment have been great until the final interview, where the interviewer showed persistent discrimination and biases, manifesting in the undisguised disinterest throughout the interview, continuous engagement with the mobile phone, as well as the suspicious and ignorance of my motivation and passion for the sector no matter how detailed and concrete my answers are, consistently insisting that my degree is not right for this role and that the work the team has been doing is very boring.
Meanwhile, I have secured other way better offers in the similar sector, which means there is nothing wrong with my degree, experience and motivation. This is indeed the most discriminatory interview experience I have had throughout my job applications. I feel sorry and concerned for people working with that team with that kind of quality of leadership.
I would say, this experience with this practice, leadership at EY will be hard to forget in my long term career as a tech policymaker and regulator.
Video interview then AC. One thing i would recommend for the AC is to be prepared to respond to a sudden change in case studies. Then came the final interview which was not technical at all.
I applied online. I interviewed at EY (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Dec 2025
Interview

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Online assessment was actually pretty easy. Which was very surprising for me as I thought it was going to be very numerate, but actually it was really just logic and situational assessment
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at EY (London, England) in June 2023
Interview
Numerical test- fairly simple Job Simulator- Very lengthy process based on solving fictitious work scenarios (writing emails, analysing charts and reports), some questions you have to rank your choices/multiple choice, and then some video recorded answers that are like hirevue format. No chance to display skills you have worked hard on in your CV, completely impersonal and very robotic. Don't understand how A Levels are relevant for grads when school leaver apprenticeships exist and university students have worked hard to build up their skills and experience.

Question 1
Your manager has misunderstood some information about a client and wants to set a meeting to discuss her findings, how would you best resolve the misunderstanding?
