Indeed interview questions

I went through 2 phone screens and then a 3 and a half hour onsite interview. This took about a month and I was given "feedback" the morning after the last stage of interview. I was just told "Sorry we don't have better news for you" but no other comments whatsoever. I received the generic "Thanks for your interests" email 2 days later. Although the process is exhausting I don't think its necessarily bad. Its actually awesome to see what the company is about (and to get a free lunch!) What was bad was the amount of effort put into it and then to just receive a quick call the next morning saying they aren't taking you with no other feedback. Makes you wonder why they wasted so much of your time/what you did wrong. My recruiter actually said myself and another candidate were the only ones interviewed that day and neither of us got it. She claimed Indeed prides itself on giving quick "feedback" but in a way it felt like they were waiting to reject. Just didn't seem fair.

Really organized at the start, but towards the end was not getting regular feedback and had to chase up the hiring manager to get an update on my application. In total it lasted just over 2 months comprising 4 interviews and a writing task. Worst of all I had 3 great interviews with what would have been my new boss and new coworkers but at the last minute a senior manager decided to interview me and they decided I wasn't fit for the job - in fact between myself and the final candidate the job wasn't filled at all so they have to start the hiring process all over again. Worst of all according to them I was the favourite for the role, which is a huge shame as the senior manager who had their final interview with me would have not had any interaction with me (the boss and coworkers I interviewed with would have been my direct interaction) so it makes no sense that the person who denied me the role would have been the one person who would not have directly worked with me. I think this is a big problem with a huge organization, when combining two culturally different departments (e.g. US and Australia) each region has a completely different work lifestyle, and this needs to be addressed as disparities between either can lead to huge complications moving forward.
