How long is too long?

How does E&Y typically go about turning you down for a job? How long does it take? How long does it usually take to get an offer? Is a week or longer realistic? .. Also, has anyone worked in their TAS group? Got thoughts/opinions?

I was wondering the same thing. Have you heard for yours? I had my on-location interviews with the group I was applying for last Weds.

They turned me down by sending me a letter in the mail. I got it about a week after my interviews.

brutal honesty... don't hold your breath. Big 4's typically make their decision withing 24 to 48 hours after they interview. If you had not heard you have either been pushed in 2nd Tier and await only good news if someone in 1st tier says no, or you are full out regretted which is my understanding they won't even tell you, unless you pick up the phone and call them yourself, they will send a letter ( I know, it's the 21 century). I hope you applied other places and I don't mean to be harsh, I actually love EY and all the people I interviewed with, they were great and they kept telling me I was great, but I didn't get it. I've interviewed with them twice on know many people on the inside so this is not just bitterness or anything speaking... hope this helps.

I got a call after a week from my original HR interviewer stating the people at the office enjoyed meeting with me, but they had to still schedule some other interviews to evaluate all candidates and hopefully they would decide the end of the following week (which is today as I write this) or the week after that (next week from now).

I wonder if that means I'm the second choice awaiting someone's background check/acceptance or if they have had scheduling issues. at any rate, at least I haven't gotten any thin mailings from them yet.

Just to update, I ended up getting the job offer at the end of August. I didn't get my second office interview until August (from end of June), and then a final office interview with a partner a week after that. Experienced hiring takes a lot longer.

Congrats JB in Cincinnati. My recruiter hasn't been that helpful letting me know where I stand but I think this process does take longer on the experienced end. I ended up emailing the partner of the practice today so he won't forget me! At this point, I would like to know one way or the other.

Is it a client serving position?

No, core business

My boyfriend went to the final interview(4th interview) last Wednesday, and we haven't heard anything back yet. It was for core business too. This whole interview process has been 2 months. Sigh.....waiting is like a torture.>_<

Yes, it is a client serving position in one of the advisory groups. What is the average time from an office interview to notification of an offer? This waiting is very challenging and I know legally they can't let you know until it is all said and done.
