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

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

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
Agree.
