Applied to a new job, went through 10 interviews over a few months, negotiated salary, then received a verbal offer, and accepted. Recruiter said it would take up to 2 weeks to email me the written offer (had to go through approvals, HR, legal). It’s been 2.5 weeks now and no word. Reached out to recruiter to check on progress yesterday morning and no response. Now what? Should I reach out to director from final interview? To recruiter again? Please help, feeling so crumby 😭 😔

What company is this so that I know I should never apply here?

Huh.... I wonder if Veeva vs IQVIA lawsuit is causing some issues

I’d still give it time. It took FOREVER for a partner to sign my offer letter at Deloitte bc they were supposedly out of the country. It pushed back my start date by two weeks. Luckily the recruiter did keep me informed but I’d say if they gave you verbal offer and the recruiter let you know it would be a few weeks you’re ok. I’d follow up again with HR but don’t reach out to the person you interviewed with yet. Then after it’s been a full 3 weeks maybe reach out to the person you interviewed with and you could maybe just say something like “I wanted to check in as I hadn’t heard from the HR person and with covid going on, I hope everything’s ok”.

What type of position was it? Veeva’s hiring process is really rigorous because they try hard to put you in the position that fits each candidate best. Do you know if there’s another role they could be looking at for you? I’ve heard of that happening

That’s what people at the company keep telling me, however there seems to be a lack of transparency and no information on anticipated timeline, potential start date, etc.

Why did you accept a verbal offer?

Did you write about this on Glassdoor?

Yes I did

Update: they continue to email me every ~10-14 days to say “Your offer should be ready soon”

When I inquire about an anticipated timeline or other tangible details, they say they are still figuring it out...

How did it go? Was the offer extended?
