Got a verbal job offer that i acceted after some negotiation. its been two weeks and i still havent recieved a written offer. recruiter tells me that some guy who needs to approve in the system is travelling. this kinda turned me off the company. Should i start looking for another job?
If the guys is traveling, it sounds like a legit reason. What turns you off about it? But yea, always good to keep looking just in case
Just a lack of communication unless I reached out. We determined a start date but now will have to be moved out since I haven’t told my current employer yet. I won’t inform them until I’ve signed.
Ah okay. Makes sense. You would hope they they tell you when you’ll get the written offer
Keep looking because it's always good to have competing offers. It is actually a valid reason btw, lots of people are out of the office during December. It is the slowest month of the year for recruiting for a reason.
Like others said keep looking, but traveling is a valid reason. My managers boss is out for the rest of the month so if someone got hired they'd have to wait until next year for her to sign the paperwork and the process to move on.
How dare people travel in December when you want your paperwork! So rude of them! I’d rather work for a company that didn’t give me time off in December. Wait, I do.
There's no need to be sarcastic mate. We've all been there. You can say the same thing without making OP feel bad.
Lol that’s not my grievance. It’s the fact that they keep telling me a few days we’ll get it to you. They haven’t said he’s on vacation, just that he’s traveling. Could be work or whatever.
Why would such a common thing turn you off a whole company?
Well said - there are times I had to wait even a month to get offer letter
They’re traveling dude. It’s December. Lots of folks are in and out of the office. Don’t submit notice until you’ve signed and had the background check completed.
Depends on many factors - finance folks approving numbers - they need to be available- other approvals required and given this is holiday time it’s always going to take a longer time
Took me 2 weeks personally but the recruiter kept in constant communication with me

Do you really think Amazon is that bad
Keep looking regardless. But email the recruiter.
Emailed a couple of times, but they didn’t have any updates.
