      Associate Consultant Interview

      14 Dec 2025
      Anonymous employee
      Chennai
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at EY (Chennai) in Sept 2025

      Interview

      My interview started with introductions. The interviewer first introduced himself, followed by my introduction. He seemed quite impressed with my introduction, especially when I spoke about my involvement in the Community Connect initiative, and appreciated the social impact work. He then showed strong interest in my Alzheimer’s disease detection project and asked me to explain it in detail. The discussion included a few light cross-questions to test my understanding, which felt more conversational than grilling. During the interview, he also mentioned that he liked my positive and cheerful attitude, which helped make the interaction comfortable. Next, the discussion moved to cloud computing. I explained the basics of cloud computing, including IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, along with public, private, and hybrid cloud models. He asked a few AWS-related questions, mainly focused on which services are used and for what purposes. After that, I was asked two DSA-based questions related to strings and arrays, such as handling duplicates and string reversal. I was asked to explain the logic using pseudocode rather than writing full code. We then discussed my internship experience in detail, followed by the “Why EY?” question. The interview concluded with the interviewer asking if I had any questions for him. Overall, the interview was well-structured, engaging, and more focused on understanding my fundamentals, projects, and attitude rather than heavy pressure. It was a positive and encouraging experience.

      Question 1
