How long does it take to get feedback from your application?

Hi All,


Did anyone here apply for MBBs positions (entry/ experience hire) in Germany during the corona outbreak and has got replied? I am wondering why it takes so long (>1 month) to get feedback.

Hi,

Usually you should expect to receive the feedback in 2-3 working days. In rare cases it may take a week.

Best,

Anton

Sorry but what you wrote is wrong. MBB may reply after an interview within few days, but not after an application – that takes few weeks minimum

The COVID situation has make many processes different (if not slower). I wouldn't be surprised if the process takes a couple of month.

Be patient and feel free to follow up with HR once in a while.

Hi there,

many companies are restructuring the timeline of the recruiting process, thus this is probably creating delays also for new applicants. In general if you haven’t heard back after 4 weeks it is totally fine to contact HR to ask for an update.

Hello!

It usually depends on couple things: 

  • Application channel: if you do it via the website takes longer than if you are a referral or come from a recruiting event
  • Geography: some have predefine windows after which the review all applications in pack

Furthermore, COVID is nothing alike business as usual, and some offices have froze the funnel. 

Hope it helps!

Best,

Clara

You can send an e-mail to the recruiter to check.
