Feeling the pressure - anyone else seeing hiring freeze/slowdown?

Been at S&P Global for about 5 years now, mostly in the data analytics side of things. Lately, the vibe has been... off. My team's been putting a pause on filling open reqs, and I've heard whispers from other departments about similar things. No official announcements about layoffs, but this feels like a prelude. Has anyone else on the platform noticed a significant slowdown in hiring or even an informal freeze? Just trying to gauge if this is a company-wide thing or if I'm just in a department that's feeling the pinch first. Curious to hear what others are seeing, especially in different divisions. Trying not to panic but it's hard not to when the indicators are there.

Yeah, I'm seeing something similar at S&P. Been here about 4 years in a different division, and we've definitely slowed down on backfilling roles. It's not a hard freeze, but approvals are taking way longer, and there's a general sense of caution. Management is being pretty tight-lipped, which just fuels the speculation. Definitely feels like a shift from the hiring spree we saw a year or two ago. Hope it's just a temporary adjustment and not a sign of bigger issues.

Hmm, a hiring freeze at S&P Global? I'm in market insights, and things seem pretty steady on my end. We've had a couple of openings, and they're moving through the process. Maybe it's specific to certain divisions or the data analytics side is undergoing a restructure? Don't want to dismiss your experience, but it's not across the board from what I'm seeing. Could be worth checking with your direct manager for more clarity on your specific team's situation.
