Beware of EY FAAS. They’ll have you interview for one location, tell you you’re fine to wfh, tell you they’re fine with you relocating later, and make it seem like you’ll be working on clients there. Then after they tell you they’re giving you an offer they’ll tell you they’re trying to map you to a different office while you’re out of state until you move to the original office location. Really insincere, why not just tell me you’d have to map me to a different office before or during interview

FWIW, this was not my experience at all. Had a very prompt and professional interviewing and offer process.

Nope. I was referred for the job, but I don’t think that should make any difference.

I work in EY FAAS and I'm now helping with recruiting. Surprised to hear you had such a bad experience. I know things have been super busy for our leadership and maybe that's why they took so long?! 🤷

Out of curiosity, long with what specifically? The comp part is annoying but fine. I have a major problem with trying to remap me to a completely different office I didn’t have any interest in and essentially declined to interview for the first time around when I was initially speaking with the recruiter. I’m assuming they all just agreed that they’d try this after telling me they’ll give me an offer first.

They did that to you recently? Did they at least offer you something in return?

Doesn’t seem like it?

Is it possible that the recruiter is an idiot and messed up the paperwork?

I doubt it because I was told they were discussing this with leadership for me to be remapped only while I’m not near my interview location
