They sent an email asking me to fill out my availability for interviewing with no details on what to expect, how long it would take, etc. I responded thanking them for considering me and filled out my availability marking several 4+ hour long times over the next week.
They waited until the end of my availability to respond saying they were no longer considering me with a boilerplate message that gave no explanation as to why.
This feels incredibly disrespectful and I'm happy to not be working there if this is how they treat people they are considering welcoming to the team.

Interview
Interview went well they asked questions based on the resume. However after interviewer failed to communicate what was interviewed. I said things outside resume as it felt like he was talking about others resume.
6 Rounds total, with one recruiter screen and 5 technical conversation style (no coding interview) interviews. No behavioral or system-design, which was expected for this role. Everybody was very friendly and knowledgeable. The recruiter was pleasant and helpful.
