Laugh all you want. I’m telling you how silence comes across to the interviewee. Don’t like it? Change your business practices.

When I was hired a few years ago to my first in house job the process took almost a year and featured several week or month long periods of silence. In retrospect it was a bit of a view into the bureaucratic and inefficiencies of my org. While yours may not be a positive sign, it’s also the start of summer and lots of people could be on vacation which will slow things down significantly. I’d reach out to your contacts and try to ask around the edges to see if you can piece together an update.

Depends. It is graduation season where I live, so parents ts are starting to go on vacation, and thise without kids already left.

Not necessarily. They can be backed up. Happened to me and another in house attorney I know.

Not great but also not necessarily unusual either. The inhouse process is not like the lateral process.
