After a long interview process, I was ghosted and never got a response even after following up. The process started with an initial phone screening with HR, then a virtual interview with the hiring manager, followed by a virtual panel interview, and it concluded with an in-person interview.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. First, HR reached out and conducted a couple of interviews. After that, the process moved to the executive level interviews. Everyone I met was really nice and professional. A lot of them seemed to really believe in the company's core values and could see how to grow them in the future.

It was a typical online interview, lasting about an hour. They asked me questions about my experience, qualifications, network, and ambitions. It was pretty casual, and they didn't ask those kinds of questions like 'what's your favorite quality about your colleagues' or 'what do you dislike most'.
