I did interviews for them as a previous employee and both interviews went extremely well. However as I waited for a respond I was notified there was a hiring freeze . I want to verify this wasn’t just me and others received the same follow up. Which will mean I have to reapply.

Yes, there's a real freeze. They are moving people around internally as they always do. My advice to you, look elsewhere. Been here a few years and this place does not value hard work. It only promotes people who sck up to senior leadership. Hard work is rewarded with more work. I kicked bu-t my first year and got told, well, the bank didn't do well so we can't really give you a good raise/bonus. Since then I started to quiet quit and now I just took a new job making 10K+ more plus 15% bonus, which is unheard of at this azzbackwards organization. In my time at the bank, it was on average 2% raise/bonus, if anything, despite having satisfactory year-end reviews. I would never recommend anyone to come work here.
OP, can you also tell us what department/position you applied for? (asking for a friend) 🤔
Contractors are being released. Not sure what area you are seeing them added.
yes, was put in place back in January and recently extended thru Q2.
There would have to be a critical risk to the company for any hiring manager to secure any exception.
What I have heard and seen is that mostly only contractors are being brought in now, likely through Q2
Yes there is an external hire freeze right now. They just moving around internal employees
