Overall, the role sounded incredible and exactly what I was looking for in my next career move. However, the interview process left me with nothing but red flags due to the lack of professionalism and proactive communication from the team. Though I had mostly great conversations with the team, 2 of the 7 people that interviewed me immediately told me they hadn't prepared or even looked at my resume. During my 7th and final interview, I was told it was between me and another candidate. Then, I was ghosted. I contacted the recruiter and hiring manager more than once and wasn't provided feedback or a final decision on the status of the role. As of posting, it's been two weeks since my final interview. I'm just floored that a company of this size couldn't even muster a canned "we're moving in a different direction" email response after seven interviews of my time.
ETA: I finally heard from the hiring manager and the recruiter apparently left the company. So, there was certainly some lack of process and communication going on. Nevertheless, it was nice to get some clarity on what happened and why I was never informed of the status of my final interview.
