Took an on-site interview at a small company, didn’t hear back for a week. Asked for follow up and was told they would get back by EOD. Still haven’t heard back. Is this a rejection?
It’s probable that they want to screen other candidates before making a decision. Just play the field.
Probably. I’ve interviewed onsite at many non FAANG companies and 80% of the time I hear back the same day for an offer.
Probably either another one coming in to compare against or an indecisive hiring manager.
That means you are a possible hire, but not a strong one
Should I ask again for a possible update?
If you have a recruiter, Hiring Manager, or HR contact, I'd ask where it's at if this is still pending.
What happened? Any updates here?
No it’s slow/normal hiring practice. Especially if interviewing multiple candidates. 1-2 weeks isn’t very long to wait
