In as much as I understand how everything is up in the air at CS rn and no one knows anything, I think it’s unfair for the whole company to be quiet to incoming interns and full times. Send them an email or something, don’t promise them anything, just say something. Am I asking for a lot?

I'm so fucking frustrated right now.
True. Even if they don’t know, I would prefer them to tell us that and that they’re working on figuring it out then have no communication at all. I emailed and haven’t heard anything back. Before all this, their HR was pretty nice
Guys - you need to recruit asap for another internship or FT job. 99.9% chance your CS offers will be rescinded. Of course, no one knows for sure what will happen, but that is what is definitely going to happen.
Do you work at CS?
ML honored their internships (albeit no returns) and Bear cancelled it but replaced them with some non profit work with a shot at ft interviews. I agree that ppl should be looking but 99.9% is overstating, at least for SA

Without context, this is false. We have a groupme and no one has received any official communication
i mean its true but you can believe whatever you want. i've got zero reason to bs on this
False - ignore
brah, HR literally has no idea if they are out of a job in 2 months.
a massive megadeal involving trillions of assets was thrown together on a weekend with little prep.
incoming interns and FTs are the LAST thing anyone is thinking about. there are press releases, interviews, negotiating with the swiss government, dealing with advisors, integration plans, figuring out which 15k employees to fire, working through the 15 different antitrust approvals from varying countries, consolidating IT infrastructure for tens of thousands of people onto a new platform....
all to close by end of april (per latest news article I saw).
Yeah, but its totally unfair for them to be quiet right now to incoming interns and FTs.
I’ve actually tried to reason it this way but I don’t think that it’s enough justification to not email interns/incoming with an “we will get back to you in the coming two weeks with more information, nothing has been decided yet” HR can do that in 10 minutes. I think that can easily be done; no matter how many reasons you find to explain why interns/incoming are the last thing on their radar rn.
