1. Initial phone interview by a recruiter 2. Technical interview with teams for 1 hour (3 interviewers in total) 3. Open-Discussion Technical interview for 1 hour and half (3 interviewers in total) 4. Full-time interview

I had two interviews. First was a standard phone screen. Second was a presentation to the hiring manager and member of the team, followed by Q&A and follow-up discussion. After the interviews, the hiring manager asked for letters of recommendation. They received the letters, and then told me that there was an issue with funding for the position that was causing a delay and that they would get back to me. I checked back in several times over the following weeks, but wasn't given any more information or context. Then they ghosted me and I haven't heard anything since. Ghosting after requesting recommendation letters is straight up disrespectful to both me and my colleagues who vouched for me. Overall trash interviewing experience.
