Candidate-reported interview process

This was a first round interview to see if I was a good fit. They asked about my background, my future aspirations, and what I expect from the job. They also talked about the company's history and gave me a tour of the place.

My potential Supervisor picked me from a list of applicants, and then we had three interviews in total, and they ended up selecting me as the final candidate.

I found the job online and applied. A few months later, I got a call about an in-person interview. The interview itself was about 90 minutes long and I met with three different people. After the interviews, they gave me a tour of the facility. It's been two weeks since then, and I haven't heard back about whether it's a rejection or an offer, probably because they had more candidates scheduled for interviews.
