IB analyst interview - candidate lied about a deal that they worked on and said his bank led the deal. Jokes on the candidate because my bank led the deal and both my VP and I (interviewers) were on the file. Candidate ended the interview with “can I tell you guys a joke or something?”. Had to bite my tongue to not say that his interview was the joke.

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?
