I have applied to work PWC MENA over 2 weeks ago and my application has been received since then and my status unchanged. Should I be worried? I think I'm being ghosted.

Consulting companies are usually quite efficient when it comes to assessing applications and providing feedback, but 2-3 weeks should still be an acceptable time to process your application (especially during this pandemic time when some internal processes may be slowed down a bit).

I would wait another 7-10 days and then, if nothing happens, I would write them an email saying that you would really appreciate their feedback, also if negative.

At this point, you don't have much else to do if not waiting and if you have not done it yet applying to other companies too.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Hi there,

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

2 weeks isn't that long in the grand scheme of things - I've seen people wait far longer.

I would wait another 2 weeks before reaching out, but in the meantime I'd continue to actively network and look to get referrals at other companies.

Good luck and fingers crossed for you!

Be patient and have other options going in parallel. Unfortunately, I know of two recent candidates who have been ghosted by BIG4 in MENA region, which is very unprofessional sadly. But this doesnt mean you will face the same. Its not a accept/reject until you officially get one.

Hi there,

A 2-week waiting time is totally fine unless there is a specific timeline for interviews.

I would wait 4 weeks from the application date – if you don’t hear by then, I would call the office. If you applied via referral, you can also ask your connection for feedback.

Best,

Francesco

Try to reach out the HR to clarify the situation. They have to give you a response anyway, so it is your right 100%.

Unfortunately, such situations may happen on purpose, but you should never rule out the chance of a technical error, etc.

Fingers crossed!

2 weeks is not a long time for applications to be reviewed. They can take up to 4 weeks and even longer (unless you are going through the standardised graduate recruitment cycles where timelines are more explicit).

I would give it more time and chase once it gets to 4 weeks. Alternatively, if you have any contacts in your network within the firm, try to reach out to see if they have started reviewing CVs

The role I applied for is a graduate role! This is why I’m slightly worried. The application is still “received” and not under review or anything and it’s been 3 weeks now.

Did you hear back from them?
