Anyone with recent experience recruiting for Boston Consulting Group? Got in touch with a recruiter through referral, was directed to submit an application and already finished my pymetrics. Anyone know when I would be able to hear back and what the hiring timeline looks like? Recruiter suggested to get back in a few weeks but isn’t it too slow? McKinsey sent me an invite for 1st interview in a few days after they received my referral.
Prometric closed until 4/30

I interviewed with EY and i specifically told them to not contact my firm until i made my resignation official. They definitely did respect my requests.
That's pretty fucked up on their part, but did you ever ask then to be discrete or say that your team doesn't know you're currently looking? Regardless, poor move on their part but I'm also interviewing and am curious if they flat out ignored a request to keep it on the low low
What in the actual fuck
No joke. It was EY. I never even gave references and they just called multiple people to ask about me
Same. Felt like my privacy was invaded. Heard it was standard practice but at least they can give you the opportunity to tell your team yourself
That seems really shady. I asked about this once when I was switching firms and they specifically said they wouldn't contact my references until I accepted the position.
What firm did that? Isn’t there some sort of rule against that?
What firm? I'm interviewing and don't want this bullshit happening to me.
Thanks for sharing.. that is NOT ok 🙅🏼
Me too ^
So, that's definitely not part of EY's standard practice and is completely unprofessional. It's also not a good sign. If you decline or do not receive an offer, please, please let the recruiter or partner know this happened. I would be furious if I found out our recruiters or interviewer did something like this.
They called one of the other seniors I was close with at work. Not even a manager
Scumbags. I’d turn down the offer - not a good sign of things to come.
My manager told me straight up lol. Definitely was awkward
Pretty low!
How did they know who to call if you didn't give references?
Srsly what firm did that? I will be sure not to interview there
I’d be furious
Very bad style. If you don't go to that firm you should ID them.
Especially cause my managers came from the big 4 I want to go to
Oh my god..
Is this standard for big 4? Because what if whoever gets the call at your old firm just keeps quiet?
Who told you about it? How'd you know they know?
