Phone interview, followed by onsite. They provided 2 case study presentations - one on your own accomplishment and another one on a problem statement related to the role one week in advance. During the onsite , it began with the case study presentations, and then the panel followed up with questions in their respective 1-1 interviews.

Ghosted, after putting in so much time and effort. I don't think that there is any excuse for ghosting candidates, after multiple follow ups. Its understandable that sometimes situations might have changed, say the role is being put on hold. But the least one can do is to acknowledge that they are working on providing an update. There is a high level of accountability problem across the board for recruiters these days. They have one job (literally there is someone else for scheduling). I won't be naming names, but what goes around comes around. After all Its a small recruiters' market.
