Does EY ghosts candidates after final round interviews? It’s been 3 weeks since my final round. Do they send any rejection emails?

No, they don't. Mistakes may happen, but rarely. So you should expect a rejection email if you fail.

Having said that, 3 weeks is not completely outside the norm. Usually results are faster, but this happens once in a while (more common around June, when budgets are being discussed).

However, EY has just gone through a major decision (to separate consulting and audit business) and I wouldn't be surprised if that delayed the process a bit, as the total number of consultants they want to hire may depend on this decision.

In any case, it's reasonable to reach out to them after 3 weeks, so please do so.

Hello,

There is no ghosting, candidates should be informed of their outcome. I would recommend contacting HR to ask for an update.

Sorry to hear that, it's very annoying not hearing back even if it's a rejection. What happens when you reach out to HR?

I did reach out to HR a week back regarding the interview feedback or updates. She told she is waiting on interview feedback from one of the interviewers who took an extended weekend.

That sounds reasonable especially this time of the year. It happens sometimes

Hi there,

1) Does EY ghosts candidates after final round interviews? 

Big 4 are very slow with feedback in some countries. Given it’s 3 weeks, it is totally fine to follow up.

2) Do they send any rejection emails?

They should. I would follow up with HR anyway if you have not heard back after a few weeks.

Good luck!

Hi there,

Very unlikely. Might be an administrative issue. Call your HR contact in the firm to clarify.

Fingers crossed for a positive outcome!

Cheers,

Hi there,

I would be highly surprised if they do. You should hear one way or another.

It's not unheard of though to have to wait a month plus to get an answer.

Since it's been 3 weeks feel free to reach out. Fingers crossed for you!
