TikTok Policy Manager interview questions

Recruiter reached out and was super fast and responsive. After spending a total of ~6 hours interviewing with the various team members in <2 weeks, I was told that they would get back to me during the following week. I was told multiple times by both the recruiter, HR, and team members that the hiring process moves quickly so I should hear feedback and next steps (whether positive or negative) pretty quickly. Then, radio silence for over a month. After following up repeatedly with no response, I was finally told in a brief email that they were still waiting for feedback from the team. When I simply asked if this was a reject (which I didn't mind at this point, I just wanted an honest answer), they basically just told me I was still being considered and they wanted me to wait (now approaching 2+ months of no updates but being told to "still in consideration") I had read a couple of reviews from here describing similar situations and it's a shame that it ended up being true for me too. Maybe they still need to finalize headcount? But then why continue to promote the position on LinkedIn as if it's actively recruiting?
