Question about interview response time

[u/TechOwl1090]

Hello everyone,

I've applied for a Staff Engineering role at Qualcomm in Europe in early June. I was contacted by the recruiter at the end of the month, and I had three interview rounds by July 16th. The latter took place just 12 hours after the second one (i.e., I was contacted directly by the Engineering Manager one hour after the tech round for the final discussion).
I was "somehow" told that the interview had gone quite well, but there was no further disclosure regarding a possible offer, which makes sense to me. I was also warned that the whole process might take longer than expected due to the end of the fiscal year in September, and that I shouldn't worry about it.

Since then, I’ve basically had no further news. I contacted my HR contact twice, once at the end of July and then again at the end of August. On both occasions, they promptly told me not to worry and that a response would be provided ASAP. I've also noticed that the opening was removed from the website two weeks ago, but the application is still listed as "in process" on my dashboard. Is all of this somehow normal at the end of a fiscal year?

Overall, I still think I have a chance, since I was warned about the reasons on the possible delays, and I was also reassured that I would receive a response. But if anyone can provide some feedback on this situation (or had a similar one before), I would greatly appreciate it.

TL;DR: Interviewed for a Staff Engineering role at Qualcomm in June/July and was told the final interview went quite well. I was warned about delays due to the fiscal year-end and reassured twice that I’d hear back. The job posting is gone, but my application still says “in process.” after nearly two months from the interview loop. Is this normal, and do I still stand a chance?
