Yep. Normal. Some recruiters just never even get back to you after an interview. Had that happen to multiple referrals after partner interviews

like

How long has it been?

We just had career round table so maybe partners are more busy than usual?

Yeah and HR too, they’re busy with layoffs

It’s normal. They just did lay offs

Interviewed and got an offer from PwC last year and they moved at glacial pace.

Partners’ calendars could be the issue

Yes. We're notoriously slow

What were the layoffs for?

The annual reviews cycle is happening now. Some get promoted, some don’t, some get let go. A lot of layoffs happened this week because new fiscal year starts soon

Had a recruiter to tell me expect at least a 45 day process and potentially 60 days; they are so darn slowww.

OP - It is normal for the Recruiting Team, yes. There’s the PwC culture and then there is the PwC Recruiting Team culture, sadly. Both are poles apart. The timelines are similar for you and me - except my first call with the recruiter was 9 weeks ago. And my last round of phone interviews was 10 days ago.

Went for a pre-employment drug test yesterday. They never asked me if I was on any medications. I had to ask them and was told "oh yeah, just put any you may think make a difference in this text box." I put Xanax, Flexeril, and gabapentin. All of which are prescribed and used as directed. Now I'm terrified that I should have put ALL my meds, to including my psych meds. I've been sober over 12 years and never touched drugs (just booze) but I'm having a full blown panic attack.
