This shit literally just happened to me. Went thru 4 rounds of interviews over the course of a month, with the last one being in person and over 3.5 hours long, meeting with half the damned office. The way they were talking to me they acted like I had the job, then yesterday I got a rejection email from them. I mean WTF!?!?

    What industry has four rounds and a 3.5 hour interview session? To me, that wreaks of incompetence. Unless you're going to be the VP of something that's just inconsiderate and wasteful. Even a senior dev position should take at most two hour sessions and a 30-min code practical.

    My guess is it was some HR person's whole job to "enhance hiring practices" and this is what they came up with. Probably got a promotion out of it for the great work they did. And they'll probably get another one when they "streamline an inefficient hiring process" next year.

    Curious... Did they compensate you for your time? At some point that's gotta cross some threshold, otherwise companies could have year-long "interview" sessions filled with 40-hour weekly interview questions and tasks.

    Well, mind you the first interview was essentially only a 15 min phone call with their HR recruiter. Then I had to do an hour long AI interview, which was absolutely irritating and pointless. Take those out and it was a typical 2 round interview process.
