Interview
What started out very pleasant turned incredibly unprofessional and disappointing. I had two really great discussions and received great feedback on both. Was set up to have the third and it was cancelled a day before under the guise that the interviewer was "unwell" and that they would reach out to reschedule. Weeks and multiple follow ups went by on my part and I did not hear anything until maybe 2.5 weeks later the recruiter said that there are "a lot of moving parts" and they will reach out if/when they can move forward.
If they changed their mind for some reason, that is totally fine but some clarity and decisiveness would have really been appreciated. A huge waste of time on my part, and they really need to work on respecting their candidates if they want to attract top talent in the future.

Interview
Four stages with six stakeholders. The process was generally enjoyable and everybody I met was pleasant. At each stage I was asked specific questions about my experience, the role and how I would tackle certain situations.
At the final stage I was asked to conduct a discovery call with a prospect.
Throughout the process HR were tightly engaged, but on conclusion of my last step they went silent and began ghosting me. Unfortunately this tainted my view of the business, and I was ultimately unsure if I was still under consideration or not - in the end I decided to withdraw from the process.

6 Stages - Recruiter Call, Hiring Manager, VP Interview, 30-60-90 Plan with Hiring Manager and another sales colleague, CRO/CFO interview and Culture interview -- process moves relatively quickly but got very slow at the end.
