Quick rant: I had an interview with EY for a tax senior in mid July. I followed up and was told that they’ll contact me by end of July. I followed up twice in August. No response. Got word back front the recruiter today if I’m still interested. I said yes. But no email after that yet. I definitely get that they’re busy, but man, I’d really appreciate a yes or no answer from them, as opposed to waiting on the bench haha. Thank you for listening fishes lol!

Do you really want to work for a Company that treats prospective employees in that manner? Seems like a red flag anywhere else.

That’s also a great point. I’m sure the whole company does very well, and maybe it’s just this recruiter who’s a bit busy or has other personal matters as well. Thank you very much!

Same happened to me. Initial call told me we could be done with the whole process within a week and a half.
2 weeks later I had still only had the initial phone screening and just went with another offer

I was in the same boat and still am! I hope you found greener pastures. 😇

Similar thing happened to me! I submitted my application to, interviewed with, and received an offer letter from PwC before EY even reached out to schedule my interviews. Lol

Holy smokes! I’m glad I’m not the only one then haha. 😭

I'm sorry that you have had a poor experience with our recruitment process, presumably they are either on holiday or similarly understaffed. I hope they get back to you with an offer. It is a good firm to work for but can appreciate it must feel frustrating at the moment.

Change will hopefully be good for them in the long term, but it’s definitely taking a toll now. 😔

Applied to KPMG, Deloitte and EY at the same time. By the time I finished all 4 rounds of interview for KPMG & Deloitte and offer letters finalized, EY decided to reach out with the initial screening call lol u kinda late bruh

like

Bruhhh that’s insane. But great job and holy smokes to you. You killed it and I hope you’re doing very well now. 😇

I had an experience kinda sort of like this with industry. Spoke to HR recruiter, had a blast. He said he just needs to get approval from management to move on to next round. He said it may take a day or two. He didn’t hear back for weeks and said “I guess we will just move on with other candidates” and apologized that he couldn’t get a reply.

Well, it’s all good because I found another job thats more prestigious and pays almost double (all in with bonus).

Congratulations that’s amazing!
