As someone who has been a tech lead hiring engineers, here are some insights from our end:
1. The process takes time. After 4 to 5 rounds we ask all the interviewers to post their feedback to a common platform. Some people get busy and delay doing that which in turn delays the process
2. Suddenly some internal candidate might come and we try to take their rounds so that we can avoid an external hire
3. 2 candidates may have similar performance and the upper management is pushing for the person with lower pay expectations. That is why never tell your expected salary in absolute numbers
4. Suddenly the position might go on hold and the HR just thinks it is better to wait than to inform the candidate
5. Your salary expectations need additional approvals
6. We decided not to hire but the HR is a moron who just forgot/avoided to tell the candidates
Some other factors can be sick leave, festival, hiring freeze, etc. While a candidate is not responsible for this, we leave it on the recruiting team to handle the communication. Sometimes things just don’t work out
Always try to portray that you are giving your maximum attention to the company for which you are interviewing for. Tell them that you haven’t interviewed in a while and will defer to the market hike trends followed by the company. Tell them that you are sure you will be compensated well for the role.
Now some recruiters are stubborn and might say things like they need a number for the record. Tell them your current salary and ask to add a good market hike according to the trend and norms of the company.
However a good idea would be to know a bit about salary ranges of the company you are interviewing for.

We do not candidates inform they not join when have multiple offers? HR in dark for many days.
Let's not analyze and try and understand human behavior. Once you give an interview, you move on. If it's written for you, it will come to you, else whatever you do it won't.

Yea they dont...we only have to follow up via call or mails....but few companies do send rejection mails
Not every HR/job portal is like this.
They do send the rejection reason sometimes or just "thanks for applying message".
But some don't care, because that's the order of things. 😶
