This was pre Covid — I went through 5 rounds of interviews and went into the office for a panel. This was a relatively entry level role and the interviews went super well. A couple of days later the recruiter sent me an email that I got the job and the team loved me, look out for an offer letter.
A week passed and I had to ask what was going on— recruiter told me there was some financial decisions made and I wouldn’t be receiving an offer.
It was a total shitshow, and made them look really bad in my opinion.
