Exploding offer timing in F500 M&A?

I was wondering what experiences people had in terms of timing of receiving an offer and the length of time to decide after final in person interviews?

I won't have the opportunity to push the other party until I have the first offer. However, I am trying to get an idea if F500 M&A type groups typically give a few days, 1 - 2 weeks, or if it just depends and varies. Also curious to know success in negotiating more time to decide if needed.

Not sure what details to provide, but this is a junior/mid experienced internal M&A position in another state from where I am now.

Thanks-
