Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information about Cornerstone Research full-time analyst decisions. However, here are some related insights from similar threads:

  • Morgan Stanley (HK) Winter Analyst Interviews: A user mentioned applying a month ago and still not hearing back, indicating that sometimes firms take a while to respond after interviews.
  • Big 4 Full-Time Consulting Positions: A user reported receiving a rejection from KPMG 10 days after applying, suggesting that response times can vary significantly.
  • Citi Corporate Banking Full-Time Analyst Role: Another user was unsure about the application process timeline, indicating that waiting periods can be uncertain.

Given these examples, it's common for candidates to experience delays in hearing back after interviews. If you haven't heard back yet, it might be worth reaching out to the recruiter for an update.

Had a final round with them about a month ago- no decision yet- they are still interviewing but it is highly specific to office by office. Basically after interiviewing unless it is a clear yes or clear no- you will wait in a limbo until they interview all candidates/fill their class. I would say that if you are in this limbo (more than a week) after interviewing then I would lean towards a no but hold onto some hope. 

 

Thanks for the update - I interviewed for North East office. Haven't seen any acceptances go out, so fingers crossed for word next week.

 

did u end up getting the offer. i am in a similar state where I have been told that they have finalized the process and I will hear back soon etc. it was a nice message and they said to keep lines of communication open but I am not entirely sure how to interpret it.
