I got internally promoted once and they straight up told me the job was only posted for compliance reasons(externally) and to appear fair(internally).
The interview was not even an interview, it was a handshake and broadcasting the salary and start date, no less no more. They just asked do you want it or not. I took it, was one of the greatest opportunities ever.
Contrasting that, I had applied internally in other companies Only to go though a ridiculous interview , almost a history masters on the subject matter to be told the decision was already made and they wanted to interview all.
Corporate life is weird.
Another thing I have experienced was i was offered a job on the spot from a company , took it but then later told them I will not start, then i have seen the same company offering the same job, just in a different location, applied for fun, they rejected me.

Tech interviews have such a high degree of random in them.
