I applied online. I interviewed at EY (Reading, England) in Feb 2026
Interview
straightforward and quick. PRocess was very clear. Interviewers are nice and considerate. You would know about the result in a matter 2/3 days time from the interview. Standard questions were asked. Nothing special but should be ready for technical questions well.
