Sadly, some companies are disorganized. Many companies are more disorganized when hiring because they are short staffed.
Once, I went thru 3 rounds of in-person interviews. They weren't sure what they wanted me to do, so they tried to cobble together a role with 4 hats and touching almost every area of the business.
After meeting both CEOs, I realized there was a disagreement between the 2 CEOs and the Director of IT. The Director wanted to hire me, but the CEOs didn't see the need. And since I am not good at selling myself, the CEOs won the disagreement.
