Is ghosting normal?

Saw the post where someone was ghosted after 7 rounds of interviews at Morgan Stanley so I was just wondering if it’s normal for banks to ghost? Especially at the BB and EB level or if there’s a difference in ghosting for SA/FT or lateraling.

about the lack of integrity of the group that is hiring.

Unfortunately,  It is often HR that is at fault here.  I am not allowed to tell candidates that we are not going to extend an offer because of "liability", despite the fact that I really want too, explain why. The rejection just goes into the HR blackbox, and well we all know how that goes.  I often say if you really liked a group stay in touch, chances are there may be more opportunities down the road.
