Had an on-campus interview with a BB earlier this week and still waiting to hear back from the company... is this normal? As more days are slipping by I'm slowly leaning toward the bad news, but I wonder why they just don't shoot me a simple and sweet rejection email. Can I still weigh some hope here?





Depends on the company, but
Depends on the company, but generally they get back to you pretty quickly if they are interested in pursuing you.
i wouldn't put too much hope
i wouldn't put too much hope in it... unless the final rounds are weeks away. Otherwise they'd let you know within the next couple of days.
Yeah I'm not putting too much
Yeah I'm not putting too much hope in it either. But will this ever be the case that I NEVER hear back from the company? After all, I interviewed with two different divisions at the same bank and neither of them is sending anything to me.
These days, a lot of
These days, a lot of companies never get back to you with a rejection. I find it to be pretty unprofessional, but whatever. The rule of thumb I use is that if I don't hear back within 72 hours I'm dinged.
One time, an HR lady from Tishman Speyer, with whom I had interviewed with the day before, left me a voicemail asking me to call her back. I called back expecting an invite to second rounds. Instead, she told me that I wouldn't be progressed further, lol. I guess it's their policy to verbally and directly (not via voicemail) inform candidates of their rejection.
yea you might never hear
yea you might never hear back. I know MS doesn't even bother calling/emailing. If you haven't heard back you are probably done.
GS didn't bother to reject
GS didn't bother to reject me, they didn't even reply to my follow up email. It's pretty pathetic tbh.
