HR round was followed by an interview with the hiring manager. I felt the round with the hiring manager was excellent as at the end of the interview the exact words said to me were “we are so happy that you are a part of our industry and we hope to see you on the team “ only to be told over a week later that they won’t be moving forward . I understand priorities change but it’s probably better to be ambivalent at the end of an interview versus leading a candidate on. It’s tough to work with people who don’t mean what they say and don’t say what they mean
