Klarna Senior Software Developer interview questions

It was a very nice process, multiple rounds and final interview in Stockholm with all expense paid trip from the company side. It involved coding sessions, system design, white board sessions etc

5 phases all passed (a process that took almost half a year). I was told I would be offered to the next team that had an opening and would interview with them, getting hired if there was positive feedback. Well it's been half a year since then. Every email requesting an update came back with a different excuse (hiring person was on holidays, new budgets being approved, I personally forgot, etc). At this point I have to conclude that they aren't actually hiring, just keep a constant recruiting loop so they have someone with a finished interview available whenever needed. Extremely disrespectful to people going through the process.
