EY recruiters are unbelievably incompetent. They missed multiple calls scheduled, sent me interview schedule the night before, one of the interviewers didn’t even know he was scheduled to call!

EY has been a shit show for a while now. That being said, remember EY is making a lot of changes. Rectuiters have no control over others schedule. They schedule interviews based when the manager/partner in charge of that particular team/group/dept has an opening. However, those schedules change often and quickly and the last person they tell is the recruiter.

EY is seriously just such a fucking sinking ship. It’s laughable how KPMG always gets shit on in this app and especially with most of the heat being thrown by EY people. In my opinion EY is not heading anywhere good, people need to open their eyes

What would be their excuse for flunking out on calls they schedule with candidates with no explanations and ignoring follow up emails for weeks? I got scheduled for 8:30am calls - the recruiter didn’t call in. I got up and ready at 8:30 for no freaking reason. She did not even bother providing me the reason why she couldn’t call and simply had me call the following week. After she transferred me to the lead recruiter, the lead recruiter missed two more calls scheduled. Remember, I’m currently a working professional. I need to set time aside and step out for the recruiter or interview calls every single freaking time. All these also create unnecessary delays. They are unprofessional and incompetent. Period.

Update - the recruiter finally responded to my email simply rescheduling the call. Again, no apology or any explanation for missing the call scheduled and just leaving me hanging. I’m utterly speechless. I plan to connect with my senior manager and partner contact at EY tomorrow and express my concern. If the working environment at EY is anything of this kind, I am no longer interested.
