I was told I was going to receive an offer after the interview process went very well. I was very excited about the opportunity, but after a week still no offer... Unbeknownst to me, all analyst hires were put on hold after needing to balance the budget. A. Why even interview candidates if there are budgetary concerns? B. Don't tell candidates they will expect an offer under these circumstances. C. There needs to be more communication between HR and the individual practices. I felt as though neither parties were on the same page throughout this process. Imagine being verbally told you will expect an offer then weeks later having it rescinded. Not a good feeling, and not good for company's reputation.
