There were several rounds of interviews: 1. Initial coding assessment. 2. More in-depth coding, System Design, "Culture Fit" conversations. 3. A "final" Culture Fit interview with the VP. At this point, the recruiter called me and said they wanted to move forward with an offer. We discussed Salary, benefits, chose a possible start date, etc. and I was told the offer would be sent to me in writing. The next week the recruiter calls me again and says they don't have the necessary approvals for the offer, and instead they scheduled me for two more interviews. 4. A discussion with a Senior HR manager, and a discussion with the SVP. I feel the interviews went well, but then the recruiter tells me they re-evaluated the role and are going a different direction and are not going to give me the offer they had previously promised.

I had 5 rounds interviews. First one was with recruiter, second one was 1 hour tech interview with a senior engineer. 3rd one was with hiring manager. 4th one was 4h on-site. The last one was with SVP. the total process took 1 month.
