Interview
I was referred by a friend.It took just 2 weeks from the time the Resume was submitted and I got a call from HR. Total 3 Interviews.
1: Scheduled a preliminary round with HR.
2: Phone Interview with Senior Consultant ( bcoz manager was not available)
3: 45 minutes each on site interview with Sr. Manager, Partner and Manager.
They all gave a background of EY work structure, FSO, Risk Management and their experience in EY so far. It was more like a discussion than an interview.

Very good overall Experience, professional enviornment and structured process. HR was very supporting in the entire process.
