After an initial phone screen, I was the ghosted for almost a month when I was promised an update in a week. After the ghosting, I was invited to the next round of interviews but I was never follow uped on setting uo a time.

This was a skype interview with a panel of people. I received a lot of instructions about how to set up skype (I already had it installed but appreciated that they had this information) and every communication I had with their administrative assistant before the interview included information telling me to make sure my image was clear, my microphone was working well, etc. I've interviewed on skype before, and I've never encountered a company who had as many issues with skype as this one. They had a lot of lags, I couldn't see anyone's face clearly, the room echoed (which was distracting at first but I eventually become used to it), and the four person panel used one microphone - so it was hard to hear the two people at the ends of the table even when I turned the volume up. The questions themselves were pretty standard - why do you think you would be good for this position? Tell us about a time you had to work on a team? How are you with time management? They took turns asking the questions and made sure to leave time for me to ask them questions as well. I would just rate this a neutral experience due to the skype issues, but then they committed my biggest pet peeve of interviewing. They said they would get back to within a week, but I never heard from them again. I sent a thank you email the day after the interview, and a few days after they promised to get back to me I sent another thank you email also asking for my application status - but still no reply. After taking time off work in order to interview with them, and the time spent making sure skype was working well on my side, I feel like I at least deserved an email letting me know I didn't get the job.
