I interviewed for a 1-year internship position and went through three rounds of interviews over several weeks.
The process included:
Round 1 with the Hiring Manager
Round 2 with a Senior Manager
An additional interview with another Senior Manager after being informed that the original team had reached headcount capacity.
After the third interview, I was verbally informed that my interview feedback was positive and that further internal discussions were taking place. I was then asked to wait for an additional week due to what appeared to be ongoing evaluation.
However, after the extended waiting period, I received an automated rejection email without any explanation.
