Sent my resume, got an email saying they'd proceed with another candidate. A few weeks later, HR called me for an initial chat. Got another email saying they'd proceed with another candidate. HR contacted me again for a second technical interview. After passing the technical interview, which was easy, I never heard back from them regarding my salary expectations.

Applied online and got an email about an interview with the hiring manager and an FSE over Teams. It was a get-to-know-you type of interview to see if I'd be a good fit. I guess I did well because I moved on to the next interview, which was a group interview with 5 higher management folks. They gave me a knowledge test covering basic electronics, mechanical tools, and computer knowledge. I think I did fine there too, as the recruiter said they were preparing an offer and I should expect it in a few days. I waited a week for the offer, and it never came. Then, the hiring manager emailed me to meet in person. The meeting was fine, and he assured me he'd update me on the position. I never heard back from them, and it's been months. So, basically, ghosted.
