Hi I’m starting at one of the Big 4 in Boston and was wondering whether they do drug testing? And if they do would failing it be enough to rescind an offer?

I smoke marijuana regularly, but obviously would stop if it would impact my employment. I’ve been told that they may drug test for governmental audits as a matter of procedure, but I haven’t heard whether they do it for new hires.

Haha. Funny question. I was never tested or asked to for regular employment, but as others mentioned if you work on govt clients or any place that is highly secure and requires secret clearance or even just additional background checking, then you may have to do so for a client.

I'll just answer your questions and not be all high and mighty. I did not get drug tested when I started at one of the Big 4 on the west coast.
