I got a 'verbal' offer from PwC HR twice in the last three months for the same senior associate/ Technical Architect position. It has been more than two weeks since I last spoke with HR and no response to my follow-up email on the written offer letter. Is this normal at big4 to give a verbal offer and not follow up with the candidate? Should I start applying for other positions?

Are you on visa?

Yes, I'm on a work visa.

i am a senior con- full disclosure

Me too, but not sure if PwC is good now. The position I interviewed for is in the Connected and Cloud platform.

Another big 4 gave me a verbal offer then cancelled due to hiring freeze. This was a few years back. But it happens

Yeah, with everything going on. I can see that happening.

No this is not normal. I received timely offers from PwC and Deloitte and assure you Big4 does not work like this. Are you sure HR said yes we want to extend an offer or was it a maybe!?

The HR that I worked with left the firm almost three months ago after giving me a verbal offer saying everyone on the team liked me and that they are working on getting the final approval from the client partner. And the new HR four weeks ago reached out to me saying "We would like to move forward with your application" and set up a call to go through compensation and other stuff. HR said they will reach back to me last week but didn't hear anything so sent a follow-up mail on when to expect an offer letter. Still didn't hear anything.
