Google I was told my role is prioritised and the offer is pending a VP approval. It’s been 3 weeks now and the recruiter keeps saying that they expect to make an offer this week? Any idea on why could it be taking so long? Is there an executive committee that reviews all offers now? Is there an SVP/someone else who can potenially say approved/unapproved to the offer that the HM wants to make to me for this prioritised role? Nervous and worried sick. Google

If it makes you feel better, after my last interview for my current job they said they would get back to me in a week. It took them a month and a half... Because someone went on vacation and didn't give them the information they were waiting for..

like

Thank you. Good to know!

If it’s prioritized and you really want the offer, continue to have faith and check in with the recruiter weekly. It took me almost 7 weeks because of the hiring freeze but I finally got the offer on Monday. Good luck!

like

How wonderful! Many congratulations again!! Pinged you right now directly to ask if the 7 week delay meant there are potentially further scrutiny in the process? I am more than happy to wait/deal with a delay, what I want to understand if there is risk/further layer of decision making involved here where an SVP/VP can decide again making the offer to a candidate whom the HM wants to hire( for a role that has been prioritised already).

No idea what to expect. Does anyone know what the approval process for making offers is like right now? Who/how is it approved?

Each org is different. I would say your recruiter is in the same position you are in with getting no-update updates and they are providing you with whatever information they have.

Things could still continue for few weeks or it could be finalized this week but unfortunately there is no easy or quick answer

Thank you for your kind reply! The recruiter is responding to my prompt but that said, hope and optimism/trust in future to be all right is what keeps us all moving ahead and staying alive!

Hiring freeze is still in effect. Yes there’s a committee that reviews packets, as far as I know I don’t think we have exceptions.

We have a P0 (highest priority) for my current project with VP support and have been told no exceptions are being made. This was as of last week, for what that’s worth.

like

Can I ask what position?

Hiring freeze is in effect but they're prioritising dev positions more than the softer roles (Marketing, PM, etc).

If it's been 3 weeks this is a huge red 🚩

Good luck.

I am supposed to get the offer this week and was confirmed a day after 2 week hiring freeze. So been more than a month of verbal promise.As long as HRis responsive I would just wait. My role is technical not engineering but analytics PM (TSC)

Update: didn’t get anything yet, they said it will take longer 😂
