Started off very positive. Phone interview with recruiter, zoom meeting with hiring manager then “final interview” with the cross-functional teams. About 3 weeks for these steps and was supposed to hear about a final decision before Christmas. Communication became to breakdown over the holidays, understandably. After the New Year, an added interview with the VP positioned again as “final interview” after a couple weeks of no updates. Assumed more of a formality and I thought it we great. Recruiter informs me a week later that they are going a different direction with the position entirely “the business need changed and the role we interviewed you for is no longer the role we are hiring for”. Wasn’t given any information of the what the new role would be and no real feedback of how my interviews went other than “everyone really liked you.” Maybe just an isolated situation given the role was new (and supposedly change midway through) and my original recruiter left the company after the cross functional interviews, but could have been communicated a better regarding the changes. Thought the interviews went well and feedback was all positive, but left the interview process feeling a bit unclear as to what actually happened.
