Excessive bureaucracy? At a Big 4? Well I never...

Frustrated and kind of feeling like they aren't actually serious. Every day that ticks by is another day I have to stay here and I'm so ready to leave.

Slalom is a dump. I know many who went there And came back running. Be careful. Talk tot he recruiter or find another recruiter to work with you.

EY hiring is notoriously slow. I was 10 wks from application to on-boarding, which was considered light speed by my team.

Thanks, EY2! Duration?

Mine took more than 4 months, and I eventually called and expressed my interest to not join the firm. Their process is disorganized and extremely slow, and I personally find Recruiters are very lazy to work and loose the context of candidatures in this long process.

Maybe it differs per business unit/area... I'm at week 4 and will have my in person's on Friday. It's all going about the same pace as Accenture for me

Which division of EY?

Speak to the recruiter or speak to his/her manager.
