I received it a few days after via phone call.

Would they notify you by phone or by email if you are rejected? It has almost been 2 weeks since my interview :/

Unlikely they would retract an offer once they offer you, even if it was just verbal. Likely they are going through the approval process, which is notorious for being slow.
I remember when I was joining the organisation, the whole process took months!

I disagree.
As shared in my previous post, if you are outright rejected, the rejection should come swiftly. When you're made to wait, the chances of success are actually higher.
It is either you have been KIV, your name is being put up for approval or they are doing some background checks on you. All of which are all good news and not outright rejection.

Of course after all these, something may still happen e.g. background checks fail, or better candidates came for interview or application was not approved due to salary expectation too high etc...

you may disagree with me, but i am telling from my experience becoz most of my friends including me received the offer within 2 week. There is a background check 'G50' after u received call from them. nope, fresh grad salary is fixed.
