First had a phone interview with hiring manager. I was then asked to come in for a panel interview. In-person interview was rescheduled 5 times, each time I accommodated their change in time. Panel interview consisted of 3 people. I never heard back after interview. I reached out to hiring manager and they either ignored my email or chose not to respond.
