I had 4 phone screens which included the c-levels, a panel interview and 2 peer interviews. They also reached out to my references. Up to that point, it was a pleasant experience, but at the end of the process, it was very hard to get a final decision. It felt like the kept dragging it with very vague reasons for the delays. I can make some educated assumption as to why, especially after I noticed that they hired one candidate in Jan of 2021, but the point is, after the time and effort invested in this process, it would have been better to be more transparent and upfront than for the candidate having to keep following up. 98% of the process was positive, but when the last 2% is negative, that is what you are left with, unfortunately, especially when it took a month to get a final response. I also asked for feedback on my candidacy, but I have not received anything.
