Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not uncommon for there to be delays in hearing back after an Assessment Center (AC). Here are a few potential reasons for the delay:

  1. Internal Deliberations: The firm might still be in the process of making decisions. Sometimes, internal discussions and evaluations can take longer than expected.
  2. Batch Processing: They might be waiting to complete all ACs before making final decisions and sending out offers or rejections.
  3. Administrative Delays: There could be administrative or logistical reasons causing the delay, such as coordinating with different departments or waiting for final approvals.
  4. High Volume of Candidates: If there were many candidates, it might take more time to review all the performances and make decisions.

It's important to stay patient and perhaps follow up with a polite email if you haven't heard back after a reasonable period. Remember, the entire recruitment season can extend up until November/December, and sometimes even past January.
