Is the EY experienced recruiting process always really shitty? Heard from two different HR resources to schedule an interview but neither respond 😧

Well leadership failed to acknowledge and invest in internal processes and policy.

There should be required turnaround times to process first contact, to follow up to phone interview 1, phone interview 2, in person, and then offer extension.

Recruitment is a joke, EYU is a joke, ACP is a joke and staffing is a joke because there is no accountability.

Yes

Yes, could take 6 months from first contact to Onboarding, at least 3

Lol.. My interview scheduling process was fairly quick, but when I got to the office no one was there to greet me, and the partner I was interviewing had to get me himself (cause the recruiter was MIA).. My friend who referred me still hasn't gotten his bonus and it's been over a month

We are pretty bad - unless you know a partner pushing from the inside.

Yes, we've even had new hires show up for the first day and no one knew they were coming.

So would you say that HR accurately reflects the firm? 😂 but really, is shitty HR an accurate representation of the rest of the firm?

It's a joke but I got a free trip to Chicago out of it so whatever

EY internal highlights how poor the processes and procedures are. Internal doesn't really support delivery, most of it is just wasted overhead.

No, I don't think HR accurately represents the firm. I think those of us that are client-facing are disappointed that HR is who's representing us when it comes to recruiting and hiring. They give impressions like you currently have, and it doesn't help us at all.

Lol pretty true ^. What practice are you in PC1?

Where did you move to?

Im not that active, my title is adopted by a few different smaller firms

Yes. They schedule interviews in the middle of the week and if you cannot make it, they ghost you and you never hear back.

Ugh thanks everyone, I won't place too much thought into this recruiting process then!

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Need advice on a specific question!
Interviewed with Chicago court 2 weeks ago; they decide mid-August. Interviewed with DC judge last week; hear from him by this Friday. Chicago said if I need an answer before August, they'd try to make a decision about me sooner.
Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?

Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?
