I applied for a Manager role and spoke with HR, then the hiring manager. The HM suggested I might be a better fit for another high-level manager position, so I interviewed for that. I made it to the final two candidates but didn't get the job because the other candidate had a prior relationship with the hiring manager. HR then suggested a third high-level manager role in the same department, assuring me I wouldn't have to repeat the entire process and would likely get an offer after meeting the hiring manager. This wasn't true, and I went through the full interview cycle again for the third role, but an internal candidate was chosen. The whole thing took 6 months and over a dozen interviews with 10 people. I felt like I was being strung along just to meet a quota for external candidates.
