I was very excited for the opportunity at PwC and went through the 4 rounds. But at the final partner round, the partner was disinterested from the beginning unlike the 3 directors who interviewed me earlier.

I am a senior hire and 3 days after parner interview I asked the recruiter, she emailed me saying everyone thought of very highly and impressed with me, but had to go with another candidate.

Now when I check my application status it says 'candidate withdrew'? What happend you think?

I just went through the same thing with PwC. The fourth and final round was with someone who was 20 minutes late to the interview. When she finally joined the call, it was clear she didn’t do her homework and knew nothing about me. I was not given an offer after this, but frankly it was a relief if that’s how the team operates.

They're blaming you for their choices, at least officially. Be glad you avoided having to deal with them on a daily basis if that's how they operate.

They just withdrew you from being a candidate.

Not true lol. It should say 'Not selected', based on my friend who got declined after pre-screening. Some shenanigans.
