This question is a test of your cultural competence. How you answer will inform them of how effectively you will communicate and collaborate with EY's teams and customers, and how you would represent their reputation. So spend time familiarizing yourself with their diversity and inclusion statements, and reflect on your valued experiences and the role they played in your professional development.
"We believe diversity and inclusiveness means growth. Multicultural thinking, teaming, and flexible working are at the heart of our shared success. It unites, it opens your eyes; it builds understanding. It amplifies your unique perspective on our global stage, leads and inspires others in the work they do every day. The ability to invite, leverage and learn from different perspectives is key to how we work and how we live our values. We hold a collective commitment to continue to drive an environment where all differences are valued, practices are equitable and everyone experiences a sense of belonging. Diversity, equity, and inclusiveness are core to who we are."
"I am a people person and am curious by nature. I am always eager to learn about other people, and the more diverse, the better. If someone has a unique perspective of experience, I want to know more about it. The more I learn, the better a team player I can be. Everyone has something to contribute, not just to the team, but to each team member's development. The more tools in my box, the better. You'll find I am approachable and open, eager, helpful, and optimistic."
