Yeah my hiring into current job (bank) took 6 months. I even quit the previous job, and date of start kept pushing. Job post was still there.

At one point I flatly threatened to hiring agency I am quitting the process if this goes on further, and all was finished within a week or two.

Corporations work in mysterious (aka chaotic) ways. Even though it usually boils down to specific manager being lazy ass.
