I applied through other source. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Genf) in Apr 2021
Interview
I applied after having participated to an event. I've been invited for 3 interviews sessions about 10 days after I applied.
- 1 HR interview : typical behavioral questions, be ready to introduce yourself, talk about your academic choices, your internships and answer questions like "why EY" or "why consulting".
- 2 Position-related interviews : Here it was about the position of cybersecurity consultant, mostly with managers. It was really nice, I've had a pleasant experience as it much more of a conversation rather than "questions-answers". They want to know about your authentic self, in a very friendly athmosphere. They ask you about what you think of the job, in my case how I saw cybersecurity, what would I do to respond to an cybersecurity related incident, what are my motivations, what animates me to chose this career path etc...
Just make sure to have a minimum of preparation regarding the basic typical questions, a let your personality express itself.
However it took a long time for them to provide me with a feedback after the interviews. I heard back from them about 4 weeks after, which pretty long.
