Has anyone heard back after the EY One assessment yet?

How did it go? What type of questions were in the assessment and do you remember what the video questions were on roughly as that’s what I am most nervous for

Hey, I gave it over a month ago so dont remember much. I would say be prepared to answer why EY, why the chosen field and why that location. The questions really depend on the area you've chosen to apply for. Check out glassdoor for some interview questions, thats a very helpful resource. Be prepared to do some basic maths like ratios, percentage and unitary method. Even if you don't know the answers, be confident in the video interview and that's half the battle won. Good luck!

thank you!

Hey, have you heard back from the assessments? I’m just wondering how long it will be till I hear how I have done.

I’d say it’s gonna take time. EY’s hr is very slow and unorganised from what I’ve heard. So they’ll tell us when they tell us. If it’s been more than 3 weeks, then you can email them asking for an update.

Ahh okay fab thank you
has anyone done the EY One assessment? How was it? What were the video questions like-that is the bit I am most worried about.
Can you give me some examples of the kinds of questions you got if you remember?

Has anyone heard back after their assessment and video interview yet? I done mine on the 9th of this month and received an email the day after saying they are reviewing my assessment and will be in touch shortly but all I have received is another email a week later saying the same thing.

Is this the same for anyone else? :smile:

Same thing happened to me. For me i think its because i did the assessment last minute or its because they have an influx of applications that they are going through since it includes a video interview, but i dont think it makes that much sense since im pretty sure the assessment is checked by an ai/bot.

For the practice question, I got asked what I like to do on my spare time
For the 1st question it asked along the lines of 'why this position and why at EY' I think
For the 2nd question, this might not apply to you since I applied for a degree apprenticeship, but it asked 'how would you stay motivated, and balance between work and studies'
Hey guys has anyone been invited to the Experience Day or have been rejected after the Job simulation? My portal says theyre shortlisting candidates i dont know whether that means i've passed the job simulation or not.

Were any of the assessments timed? And were they random or structured?

pretty sure it went like this:
1) Rank what you would do in each scenario
2) Video Interview
3) They give you a skill and u rank how good you are at it
these arent timed other than the Video Interview

the next ones depends on your role, so you might get verbal reasoning, or Numerical
they can be both also
pretty sure numerical is timed, not sure about verbal
