My husband interviewed for a job posting that is hiring four people. Two people got offers Monday and one person that I know of got a denial on Monday. My husband hasn't received an offer or denial yet. I'm wondering if in a situation like this, where a large corporation is hiring multiple people for one job posting if the offers are sometimes sent out on different days? In my thought process, I am thinking because this is a large corporation, I'm sure each offer requires "sign offs" from various departments. Maybe the two offers that went out Monday were just the two offers that were completed first?

True, but there are good reasons for it to happen that way. Background and/or reference checks can take longer for some depending on people responding to inquiries. There could also be several candidates that are very close in qualifications, so more time is taken to decide.
Sometimes when a company has multiple positions available, they will make offers to the top candidates and send rejections to the bottom candidates That leaves the middle candidates on hold; no offer - no rejection, so that if any top candidate declines, they still have a group in a holding pattern to select from. Once all positions are filled and confirmed, they'll send rejections to the remainder.
Or as Hemlock said, they rejected the bottom, offered the top but still have a position or two to fill and have three or more equal candidates and it's just taking time for them to make a finial decision.
