acceptable talent practice, it makes me question the culture of the larger group. Am I wrong? Trying to convince myself I probably wouldn’t have liked it there anyways if this is how they operate.

That’s sad. Our hrs are horrible. Doesn’t represent the group but rather the hr. My team decides on hiring or not within 3 hours of interviews. And kind of entire team finds it relatively soon. What happens at hr desk is an effing mystery. Maybe follow up with a partner or director you met. If you liked them. If not maybe drop the hr an email again

HR is pretty junior leagues here. Not representative of the group itself.

Yeah my experience with HR has been horrible... from referring a candidate. But the my team itself is solid. How PwC handled my referral was an embarrassment—wish I was surprised to hear your story

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.
