I interviewed for MS, got selected and accepted offer verbally by the 3rd week of December. The recruiter said that they'll get the offer out in a few days and here we are. I understand that last week of December people are generally out but does it take this long? The application in the action center is completed but the date keeps changing. Is MS this slow or is this normal at big tech? I mailed the recruiter at the start of this week and she said that it'll be done by the end of the week. Sorry for the long post, I'm just a little shocked that at a place like MS, rolling out an offer letter can take so long. TC: 120k YOE: 3
Depends, no
I will be shocked that you can do better than that after you get in
normal
I get that now though it is a little shocking for me still
This is normal, especially at this time of year. You were fortunate to interview at all during the 3rd week of December. A large part of HR/Recruiting is made up of vendors, who don’t always have their heart in the work either and are not paid any differently for getting people hired or not. MS recruiting is not a well-oiled machine.
In the last two weeks of the year, virtually no one is in the office or working, and now they are digging themselves out of the hole from being gone.
Yeah, everyone is OOO after the holiday parties and come back next year.
It is very normal as the process not short at all
