Webanywhere interview questions

I had one interview, though Sean was pleasant enough during the meeting. My issue is that I had to chase for an outcome afterwards. I was initially told that second round interviews would hopefully take place the following week, but that week came and went with no update. I waited patiently into the next week, still without any response. I eventually decided to email Sean, and only then was I informed immediately that I hadn’t been successful almost 4 weeks since the original interview stating they had hired someone more local although the job was advertised as remote. I’m quite baffled as to why I had to repeatedly chase for an interview outcome, especially given that Sean stated during the interview that if I hadn’t heard back by the following Tuesday, I should get in touch, which clearly suggests this had been an ongoing issue and I can now see from other reviews this was not a isolated incident.
