I'm here and our process took forever.
We had a recent candidate that we all loved, take 6 months. We only got him bc his brother was here. EY is on the whole, terrible at this.
Deloitte processed me end-to-end in 30 days
They need metrics.
First contact -days to second contact - days to schedule phone interviews-days to in person - days to offer, etc.
Each step needs clear ownership and targets with a goal of onboarding a new candidate for day 1, in less than 60 days for manager and below.
This isn't that difficult. Then we need to overhaul training and staffing.
ACP should be destroyed and rolled into competency / sector. There needs to be ownership and accountability from the go-to-market partners for their people and their utilization / performance. This doesn't really exist today.
PwC sucked for me bc the partner had 0 questions and I had to ask him everything, the managers didn't even seem like they wanted to be there. They made an offer but it was easy to turn down
Partners are like that. They just want to have casual conversation to asses your personality but bad interviewers are everywhere including PwC.
EY HR is the most incompetent HR I ever had to deal with
KPMG flew me 3 hours to have one of the interviewers no show. The other two were not even from the group i was interviewing. People seemed clueless during the entire process.
They all suck. I like K a lot, but during my interview process (3weeks) I got 5 "thanks but no thanks" emails only to be called back for interviews and told to keep ignoring those.
All you saying you had shit experience with EY...is why you didn't get offer. Direct correlation.
EY7. Ok fair enough
No offer here but made it to the last round and I seriously considered not even going to the last round because of how god awful the process leading up to it was
@E3 I turned down my offer because the experience was so bad
Guess I was not aware. Points taken.
I think my worst interview experience was with KPMG. Fuckers went dark and kept coming back every 3 months
Worst for me was probably with PwC. Everyone had bags under their eyes and didn't seem happy with their lives lol. Loved EY but their offer was almost insulting compared to what KPMG offered
I have no experience with KPMG and Deloitte.
I worked for Deloitte
Best of big 4 by far - closer to MBB than to PWC at this point, in my view at least
EY2 campus hire from uiuc joining forensic tech in both
Chicago
^^ Shame. I'm in FTDS and the Chicago team is awesome. Lots of great projects up there. But fucking HR....
HR is bad.
What is also worse because of that, is our talent levels. If getting hired takes too long, there will be significant attrition. Then our pay is under market in many cases. Those are a bad combo.
Speed kills and while we do have some exceptional talent, we also have more underperformers, than anywhere I have worked before.
