I don’t know the answer to your question, but I’m very curious as to how you even got to the point where you could be perceived as annoying in between interviews. Isn’t it basically like, “we’d like to interview you at x time on y date. Does that work for you? Do you have any questions?”

What could you have done to be annoying?

I can’t imagine that they’ve dinged you at all, let alone over that.

I think you’d have to really go out of your way to cause a concern in values or integrity in order to drop out of the process in between interviews. What most likely happened is that interviewers suddenly got sick/busy/delayed/etc and interview will be rescheduled.

Either way, there’s usually a clear policy of sharing feedback with candidates together with any decision post the interview stage

like

Yes but it was a reschedule not complete cancel and ghost. Also yes, they provided a reasoning for the reschedule.

Got a verbal offer from Grant Thornton. The recruiter told me that they would get the paperwork over by Thursday or Friday. I mentioned that I am strongly considering the firm however I have other companies that I am also considering so I will be making my decision based on that. The recruiter then mentioned that I’ll likely have 3 days to respond after the offer is given. Is this normal? What should I do? Can I ask for an extension?

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
