Thorough in regard to meeting with different people and teams you will be working with. You are introduced to different groups and get a different angle of the company from many perspectives, including your team. The decision was made by a committee in this situation.

I started the interview process at the beginning of September and it was dragged out until end of November. I met with 8 people in total (which feels like a lot of this level role). Everyone I met with was really nice, super engaging, and I felt like I had a really good shot at getting an offer. After my last interview wrapped up, I was told I would hear within the next week. The week comes and goes and I didn't hear anything. I let another week go by and decided to follow up with the in house recruiter I had been working with. I get an automatic message that she is no longer with the company. I than contacted the people within her reply and still did not get an answer. When I followed up the second time, I decided to add the last person I interviewed with. Finally I got an answer, I was not getting the role (which I assumed), I just wanted an answer. I find it so disrespectful that you would talk to a candidate for almost 3 months and not have the respect to notify them of the final out come. Afterwards, the VP reached out and said that they still feel I could be a fit for something at the company and I politely declined. If this is how they run their recruitment and treat their candidates, I can only imagine what the company culture is like.
