Hi All

Request genuine opinion from you all

I have been following up with HSBC for releasing my offer letter since last 2 months.

My current application status in the portal says “Additional info and employment checks”

HSBC HR is replying that you may or may not get it because we don’t know when hiring freeze will be uplifted.
I have been super fed up with the process .
I have gotten an offer from other company and joining date is 13th March.
What should I do now? Any update anybody has?

Join the other company. I'm doing the same now (joining the new company on 18th of March, 2026)

I am in the same boat as you. However, I'm still waiting for the results of the first round of the interview itself, which took place on 6th of Jan. Let alone the offer letter. Lol

No updates since then. Followed up twice with the HR (last time I followed up with her was on 6th of Feb).

When I asked her if there was a hiring freeze, she told me that "it's confidential but yes, there has been a slowdown in the Hiring Phase."

She also does not have any update. Also, in the careers portal, I don't see anything regarding my recruitment process. It just shows Blank status, with Feb 12th as the date.

Since then, I stopped following up with her for any additional updates.

If they come back later sometime in April, then well and good. (My notice period anyway will be of 1 month only with the new organization for the first 6 months, on account of probation).

If not, then no worries. I'll continue with the new Organization then.

Received a verbal offer/commitment from the engineering team 3 weeks after my interview process. Still sitting and waiting (1.5 weeks) to have the conversation about compensation expectations and finalizing the offer. Is the Google hiring process typically this slow? I feel like this is not a good reflection of their recruiting process. Let me know if you've had recent/similar experiences
