All companies have different processes.
The company I work for is very very VERY slow, and they have a hierarchy heavy process. Example: I knew I was going to be offered a job after 4 interviews, because I'm friendly with the person I would be reporting directly to, and she told me it was coming, but the word had to officially come from this one lady who was out on vacation and about to go on maternity leave. So the process could not and would not move forward until that one lady in HR sent me the official email. No one could do it for her. The buck stopped there. Delayed the process a good week. And because the company is officially under a hiring freeze, it required 6 executive signatures all the way up to one step below the CEO, all of whom work in France so time difference issues. This is a company with 100k+ employees, so as I am sure you can imagine, it's a big bureaucracy. lol
Point being, I think my experience was the epitome of slow. Bottom line is that it is perfectly reasonable to send a "Still interested. Still here. and Just checking in" email, if she was given a verbal 1-2 weeks and you're at 2 weeks. Shows interest and connection. It's a good thing.
