One phone screen and one onsite. The interview process was relatively quick. Both rounds were completed in the course of 2 weeks. The offer took more than 2 months to process, and the company gave me no updates about the status of my application during that period.

From my perspective, the interview couldn't have gone much better. I answered around all questions, the interviewer seemed genuinely impressed, and I had already cleared the first round after answering all the questions there as well. Apparently, that's still not enough.
At this point, I'm starting to wonder if the interview was about evaluating my skills or seeing whether I could magically guess the hidden criteria that no one tells candidates about. If answering questions correctly, explaining my thought process, and having a positive interaction with the interviewer still lead nowhere, then it would be nice to know what exactly was missing.
But of course, no feedback. Why help a candidate improve when you can leave them playing a lifelong game of "Guess Why You Were Rejected?" Maybe the real interview question was one they forgot to ask.
