If a company cites internal re-org as a reason to hold off on the written offer, I would think twice before accepting cos you never know if you quit your current job and move there only to find yourself retrenched after a few months cos of re-structuring.

Yes I understand that a verbal offer is not finalised until a contract is signed legally. However, both an organisation and candidate should do their best to uphold their promise. If an organisation can go back on their words, it really doesn't speak much about this organisation. It would mean that there is a lack of integrity and they are irresponsible and unaccountable.
