I had a pretty similar experience interviewing at Stripe for a (frontline) Manager position a couple of years ago.
I get scheduled for a screening call with the hiring manager. The hiring manager doesn't call me. Recruiter follows up and offers to bring me onsite (no apology offered) without need for screen.
I'm shared the interview loop which has about 5 people (including the hiring manager who ghosted me).
Interviews were not very technical, just casual chats about management stories.
When it came time for the hiring manager to interview me, I got stood up. Again. Sat 45 minutes in the interview room with no one to check on me or inform if the HM slot will be replaced. Recruiting coordinator was unreachable.
At the end of the last interview, I told the recruiting walking me out about the no-show. They shrugged (zero apology again.)
This was followed up by 2.5 weeks of radio silence despite me seeking for updates.
Ultimately they responded to my follow up e-mails with standard rejection template.
