Interview Details Initial communication via email for a phone interview. Phone interview lasted about 15 minutes. Seems like a simple fit-test to me. Then was invited for a second/final round. Was also asked to complete at 40 minute written assessment online. A very straight forward assessment. The interview consisted of two 30 minute interviews with a senior manager and a partner. They were general behavior interviews. This was followed by a 50 minute case study that was done on a laptop

Interview Details Two interviews back to back. 30 minutes each and with different people. First interview was very relaxed and just talking. Second interview had standard behavioral questions. Overall, very relaxed environment.

Interview Details For audit intern, 2 interviews with the managers and partners. 30 mins each.

Interview Details From University career website

Interview Details I applied online but got a friend to pass my CV to the HR manager in Toronto.

She called me and we went through my experience. I had direct experience in investment banking (M&A, and private placement) so there was no real issue in connecting the dots. That's important thing, HR doesn't always do that, so guide their hand like a newborn.

After the phone interview and about, 2-5 business days later I was invited to their offices downtown. I actually was 30 minutes late due to an overrun of a meeting and traffic but I called them to let them know. They didn't care. Its important to be respectful with people's time.

Got there, two hiring managers that I would be working with directly. Make sure you have questions and not how much do you pay or bonus structure or vacation but relating to the content of the job, who will you work with, what kind of mandates will you be put on, whats the geographical focus, your expected/unexpected responsibilities, an overview of their business practice, how the market has been performing, etc etc.

They will give you a reply one to two weeks later.

Interview Details Was interviewed through an on-campus recruitment interview. The interview was 45 minutes including both behavioural questions and a mini case.

Interview Details 1. Recruiting event on my university campus in which you learn about the company and the experiences of E&Y's employees present. This was a typical networking event where you have a conversation with as many representatives as possible so you can develop rapport and hopefully make an impression on the recruitment manager and/or partner.
2. Pre-Interview Dinner: Again, here you want to build a relationship with the people of the firm with friendly conversation. Also obviously ask questions about the role you are applying for.

Interview Details This position was a four month co-op, so the initial recruiting process began with information sessions where partners, managers, intermediates and juniors presented and were there to network following the powerpoint. Once the application was submitted, one of the managers, who I would later learn was one of the two interviewers, called and asked to me come in for an interview. The day of the interview I was greeted in the reception area by an intermediate accountant working there who was there for me to ask questions before the actual interview process. I was then guided into an office with two managers. Most of the questions they asked were about my resume or lead-offs from something I would say. The actual interview was more so conversational than behavioural, something I quite enjoyed. I was then given a tour of the office and met the hiring manager. The next week, I was contacted by a partner to extend an offer.
