I had a phone interview with a recruiter and then one with the hiring manager. My third interview I had to do a presentation on a product. I never heard back from the hiring manager even after 2 follow ups. The recruiter finally called me and told me I didn't get the position then quickly hung up.

5 interviews, very thorough, but then vp of sales trumps all decisions even when the actual hiring manager was prepping you for each interview agree the first two with her
