Thinking of applying to EY, but I’ve heard so many horror stories here that I’m a little reluctant. Should I avoid EY like the plague?

Question for people @ EY - did the scheduling of your interview get outsourced to one of your COE’s (or whatever you call them)?

Had a good call with the recruiter and was moving forward with the process, then I got an email from someone asking if they could message me on WhatsApp to schedule interviews, or I could just schedule through email if I preferred.

Got the same message about WhatsApp and confirmed but then they just send you a live interview email request through hirevue and the interview process was with the team is be working with.

Do you like waffles?

depends on team just like any other Firm. Many horror stories here on FB as people come to complain only.

I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.
