Hiring freeze rumors at S&P Global?

Hey everyone, been with SPGI for a few years now, and lately, there's a weird vibe. Lots of internal chatter about a potential hiring freeze kicking in soon, especially in some of the less "core" business units. My manager's been cagey when I ask about team expansion plans, just giving me the usual "we're always evaluating" response. Has anyone else heard anything concrete or seen any signs of this? Are there budget reviews happening that seem particularly intense? Just trying to get a sense of what's going on before things potentially get tighter. Feels like a lot of uncertainty right now, and not in a good way. Trying to stay optimistic, but the whispers are getting louder.

I haven't heard direct confirmation about a hiring freeze, but I've definitely noticed things slowing down on the hiring front in my department. Some roles that were open for a while are now either on hold or being re-evaluated. The budget conversations do seem a bit more intense than usual, with a greater focus on efficiency and prioritizing existing projects. It’s not a definite freeze, but the signals are there that things might be tightening up.

Interesting you mention that. I'm in a different division, but we've also been told to be mindful of spending and that any new headcount requests need significant justification. While not explicitly a freeze, it feels like a strong de facto one in practice. Recruiters are definitely quieter, and the usual back-and-forth for new positions seems to have stalled. It's making long-term planning a bit tricky.
