Depending on the size of the company, one week isn't a huge amount of time. Maybe they are still going through their shortlist or interviewing others? I have had feedback up to three weeks after a 2nd round and nobody apologized for the delay or anything.
It’s a medium sized company but the team is small, about 5 people. They actually posted an application listing right after my second interview so I imagine they are conducting interviews with other applicants currently. I applied informally after I made a connection so I got in before the other apps
In that case, best of luck with the further outcome. You were early and others are catching up.
Thank you! So you think it’s best to just keep waiting it out another few weeks?
I wouldn't follow up before 14 business days have passed. It depends on many factors though. My applications are at large firms so 2-3 weeks is nothing.
