The company made an offer and then withdrew it when I already accepted because they had reduction of budget. After accepting, I had to wait two months just for being told that they weren’t able to offer me the job anymore. Before this unpleasant episode the hiring process had been good

Even though I was succesfull at the all steps of the interview process, when I get to the job offer stage, they said that the decision making is on hold. I told them "okay, I am waiting" and asked for the approximate the timeframe. Firstly, they said they will return in a week. After 2 weeks, they said that "it will be decided latest by the end of today" (I asked them because there were no updates at all from them) and after a week, they asked me whether I am still interested or not. I said "I am interested" (still) so they told me again that "the decision making is still on hold" and "we will let you know in a week". Finally, they returned after a week as but they said "we are moving with the other candidates". Overall, they are not transparent as they said. In the last interview they clearly implied that I was qualified for the role. They even requested my references after all interview steps ( which is the last ask before the job offer as they said). They did not even call my references. 1 job, 5steps take 3.5 months...you complete all steps, then when you are expecting job offer, however, they tell you decision making is on hold to but in the backround they are moving forward with other candidates. For the people who are reading this, I suggest that you dont waste your time for such an amateur, uprofessional and disppointing process.
