I did a hirevue about 3 weeks ago for GSAM summer analyst. My application status says under consideration still and connections said HCM team is all over the place and could be a few more weeks to months wait to hear further. Just curious if I am cooked and pending rejection? Or just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience. Thanks!

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not uncommon for Goldman Sachs (and other firms) to take weeks or even months to update candidates after a HireVue interview. The timeline can vary significantly depending on the division, the volume of applications, and the efficiency of the HCM team.
For example, in a similar case shared on WSO, a candidate completed a HireVue but noticed discrepancies in their application status, which caused confusion. Additionally, some users have reported that Goldman operates on a rolling basis, meaning updates can be sporadic and unpredictable.
Your "under consideration" status is a positive sign, as it indicates you haven't been rejected yet. However, it's essential to remain proactive. Consider reaching out to your connections or HR contacts for updates, but do so tactfully to avoid appearing overly pushy. In the meantime, continue networking and exploring other opportunities to keep your options open.

I got a super day invite 4 months after I did the Hirevue for another BB AM team. Don't write it off as a loss. Keep networking and filling out applications.
That’s horrendous that they do that. But I appreciate you letting me know, I’ll hold out. Thank you
