xUnlocked interview questions

Interviews themselves were unnecessarily long but it was good to be able to meet members of the team. Had about three rounds of interviews. First with the CFO who was a bit of a knob, then the CEO who seems uninterested, and then an interview with three other members of the team in a panel. They said I was shortisted to the final two and then received radio silence for weeks. I reached out for an update and the CFO replied ‘This process has gone on a lot longer than I had hoped at the outset. Is there a good number I can call you on to give you an update?’ Only to then not call me or email me ever again. Looks like I dodged a bullet!
