How well did the role match your expectations based on the recruitment process?

I did not know what to expect until late in the recruitment process. However, the detail of the job is not properly explained until actually beginning the job. But the company experience is what is pushed most. This has been up to expectations
When considering the recruitment & onboarding process, have you any specific tips or advice you would give to others applying to EY?
Bring more of the day to day life into the recruitment process rather than over arching company values which can come across as quite generic and do not impact the daily life of an employee as much
