EY Business Analyst interviews can combine fit-focused conversations with practical problem solving. Across candidate accounts, the most repeatable preparation theme is explaining your background and motivation clearly: why EY, why consulting or the specific business area, and how prior projects connect to the role. Resume follow-ups may probe challenges, uncertainty, teamwork, or the choices you made on a project, so prepare specific examples rather than a broad career summary.
Several candidates describe an initial online screen, such as numerical, situational, or recorded-video assessments. Practice working accurately under time pressure and making scenario responses concrete. Later stages may include a business or process-improvement case, estimation exercise, or group activity. Structure your answer aloud: clarify the objective, state assumptions, work through the analysis, and explain the recommendation.
Technical coverage varies substantially by practice and geography. Individual reports mention basic SQL, Python, statistics, or privacy regulations; review the fundamentals closest to your background and the job description. The evidence does not establish one universal EY format. Candidates have also reported manager, partner, director, and HR discussions, where concise behavioral stories and thoughtful questions about the role can help you stay consistent across stages. Prepare for variation while keeping your motivation, case structure, and resume examples clear.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report online numerical, logical, verbal, quantitative, situational-judgment, personality, language, and prerecorded-video screens. One recent account described a one-hour assessment with workplace scenarios and 14 numerical questions, while another reported a 90-minute logic, math, language, and work-method test.
Candidates commonly report conversations about their background, why EY, why consulting or a particular business unit, and how experience relates to the role. Behavioral follow-ups may ask about challenges, uncertainty, initiative, teamwork, or career goals; some reports describe recruiter, hiring-manager, or manager conversations.
Some candidates report a case interview or take-home process-flow exercise, while others describe a group discussion, team game, or presentation. Reported prompts include market entry, project management, real-life business scenarios, calculations, and identifying process bottlenecks; the format may depend on the practice.
Candidates report later technical, manager, partner, director, or HR conversations, but the order differs across accounts. Topics have ranged from basic SQL and Python to accounting, audit, privacy, or project-specific discussion. Prepare clear explanations of the fundamentals most relevant to your application.
