4 rounds: (1) Phone screen, (1) 1:1, (1) group, (1) immediate team all over a 4 week span to be told they went with a internal candidate.

Lol. Please tell me you just wanted to train your people on interview practice. I would have just given the minimum effort you needed. You wasted my time, my PTO, my gas, and my nerves. I paid 4 babysitters and drove 32 miles one way. You always knew you were going with them. Why are hiring managers this way? Y'all had me go through a massive group interview of 17 candidates for what?
