Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer. We set a time to talk on Friday about the offer. However, the announcement of targeted hiring freeze happened on Friday. I was ghosted with no call. What should I expect now? Would I still have chance to be offered?

No mention of "someone will be in touch"? That's odd. I would probably send a follow up/thank you and hope for the best. I'm sure they'll reach out, but at the end of the day what's meant to be, will be...
I second this. I’d make sure to follow-up with a thank you email. The more I’ve interviewed, the more I realize that some interviewers may not be the best at interviewing. This is not a knock to the org. You can also add “the next steps” question to the questions you ask during the interview next time so that you’re not left in the dark.
I just received and email, thanking me for interviewing. The email mentioned they would be in touch with the next steps.
What did they say at the end? Did they give a time frame for when they would reach out?
No, but the recruiter sent me an email saying she will be in contact on the next steps.
You can send a follow up email in a week or so just to feel them out

You could choose to ask them yourself without expecting them to tell you unprompted.
I see that they did follow up. Still, I vote that if you don't hear from them in the next 7 days, you reach out.
Did the letter say " we'll reach out to you with next steps" or with a caveat like "if we decide to proceed we'll reach out with next steps" or something to that effect. If it is the latter, don't hold your breath - they're saying "no thanks" politely. If it is the former, reach out after 7 days.
