I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at EY (San Jose, CA) in Jul 2025
Interview
Terrible, they ghosted for a month telling me after the final interviews that they were in a holding pattern waiting for approval to hire more seniors. I followed up and they lied that they didn’t get budget approval for the position. I know they lied because they hired another senior and manager within the next week of telling me they can’t hire me.
