What should I do in this case?
Hi, I recently went through three rounds of interviews w/ 10+ ppl in the team for an off-cycle junior level position. However, I haven't heard back for a week. What's worse, when asked about the timeline, the HR said she didn't know either. How would you guys interpret this, and what should I do at this point? I am not sure whether waiting will be the best thing to do, as I actually may have other opps overseas and if things are not working out at this firm, I would like to leave the country asap. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
just to clarify, this is not the campus recruiting analyst program
I went through the same thing with a BB firm recently and it has been about 3.5 weeks since my final round interviews and have heard nothing. Like you, the HR person said that they did not know of a timeline and also did not know why the process was taking so long. Just a heads up that you may not hear from them. If you really do have something on the go and need to know I would call directly the hiring manager that you interviewed with and see if they respond. Can't hurt at this point?
I went through the same thing last year with a commodities trading firm in London. Went for four interviews, one right in the middle of my senior finals (which I told them about and they told me I had to come in anyway if I wanted the job [should have rung alarm bells at that point]). Was told after that interview I would find out in a week. Then it was the next week. Then I found out two weeks after that I hadn't got the job. And I didn't get any feedback (after emailed five times). The whole thing was disgusting and I'm still furious writing this now.
I then spoke to a friend who had worked there as a grad for one year and said all the senior management there were arseholes.
If a firm is going to behave mess you around, unless the comp is amazing or it has unbelievable exit/promotion opportunities, I would leave it. There are plenty more organisations out there who will treat you with the respect you deserve.
