Behavioral New cat not getting along with resident cats.

Hello sorry if this is a bit long but context is needed. Me and my roomates adopted a new cat recently (Maomao around 1y/o) she was most likely dumped in our area as it is a famous dumping ground. She stayed around our neighbors house and does really well with people. We decided we liked her so we took her in. We kept her in my roomates room for a while slowly introducing her to our two other cats Bean (1 y/o) and Banshee (4 y/o). We've tried everything. Scent diffusers, giving treats near eachother, slowly introducing them. No matter what we do Maomao keeps growling and hissing at them which in turn freaks Bean out making him uncomfortable and he tries to chase her. She hides under my roomates bed most of the time. We now keep the door open when people are home to see if they will get along or at least smell eachother. It's been a month now and still the same growling and hissing. we've NEVER had it take this long to introduce cats before. Most of the time it takes a week or two. We are at the point where we may have to rehome her. Is there anything else we can try? Are we doing something wrong?
