Ernst & Young Consultant first interview nerves despite easy questions

In my first interview, panic took over. The questions were easy, but I blanked in the moment and could not respond the way I knew I could. The difficulty was not the problem. The pressure of being in the room was. I did not move forward. The experience showed me how quickly nerves can erase familiar knowledge, and the miss felt more about nerves than capability. Location: India. Overall feedback:…

Ernst & Young Consultant interview: two rounds and an SAP implementation case

The process was short, with two distinct rounds: one online and the next in person. Both felt focused on fit, without much pressure from coding. In the first conversation, I walked through my resume and explained how my experience matched what they wanted. The second involved a case study about SAP implementations. My impression was that they wanted clear explanations of the fundamentals rather t…

Ernst & Young Consultant interview: creative in-person stage

The process took a while, but the in-person stage was engaging and mentally stimulating rather than merely formal. I felt encouraged to think outside the box, with a strong emphasis on logic and creativity. It was demanding, but also fun in that sense. The manager interview afterward felt more tense. Some questions did not seem clearly framed, which made it hard to answer confidently because I wa…

Ernst & Young Consultant interview: basic questions and brain teasers

The interviewers were kind, but the process felt a little unprepared. Most questions were the basic kind I expected early on. A few brain teasers appeared near the end, making the round less predictable and testing how I thought under light pressure. It was manageable rather than brutal, though somewhat scattered. I left wishing I had done a bit more live practice so the brain-teaser section woul…

Ernst & Young Consultant interview: assessment delays and silence

After the initial recruiter step, I was asked early questions and told I would receive an evaluation afterward. Once I completed it, the process stalled for a long time. I reached out for an update and got silence back, which made the whole journey feel inefficient. Separately, I went through a longer, multi-stage path with video and a psychometric-style component. It never seemed to move much be…

Ernst & Young Consultant interview: delayed evaluation response

My first step was a short recruiter phone call. It felt as though the questions were being read from a checklist, and I got very little context about the role or the rest of the process. I had to try to get clarity from the conversation itself. I completed an evaluation they sent afterward, then waited for months with no update. When a response finally came, it was a generic rejection. The long s…

What are interview experiences?

An interview experience is a candidate's own account of a hiring loop — not a question bank entry. It tells you the shape of the process: how many rounds there were, what each round actually tested, how long the gaps between them ran, and what the recruiter said at the end. That context is the part a question list cannot give you.

How to read them

Weight recent write-ups more heavily — interview loops change, often within a year. Read several for the same company and role rather than one: a single account tells you what one interviewer asked, while five tell you what the bar is. Note the outcome badge too, since a rejection write-up usually explains the gap far more precisely than an offer one.
