Disorganised; I was given a verbal offer after passing multiple rounds; then was ghosted, with offer withdrawn weeks later due to an acquisition - unprofessional interview process despite interesting role

Question 1
Describe your background in strategy and operations
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IPSEN in Apr 2025
Interview
Recruiter, hiring manager interview, then panel interview with multiple people that lasted over 3 weeks. Honestly I lost interest in the role about half way through the process. Was told I’d hear back on a certain day… I never did and honestly couldn’t care less. They were looking for someone cheap.
HR and Hiring Manager interview: The hiring manager was disrespectful and condescending, started to give me tips about my career, and said I was not a great fit, but since they were curious about my profile, they decided to schedule the interview.
