opinion on 7-10 rounds of interviews?
Now a days, candidate experience has been tossed out of window. Companies and Talent hunt team are expecting candidates to go through multiple rounds of interviews with no clarity on rounds held, with multiple reschedules and delays with lot of uncertainty. what grapeviners thoughts about it? is it fair to have this practice?
Nah that’s usually the sign of a being very undecided on someone
Like ideally you should be able to make up your mind about someone after 4-5 at most
7-10 round of interviews is like almost a free trial period 😅

Undecided? Both ways right? Why not have clarity ? Odds of getting good rating 5/10 are most likely
Standard Google recruitment process has 6 rounds.
Phone Screen
Technical x3
Googlyness
Hiring Manager (multiple can be held)
If any of the technical results are weak, then expect 1-2 more rounds. Multiple HM rounds if you are trying for different teams.

It is an employers market. More steps to just reduce people in their funnel

Bhai just stating what the reality is. When demand for talent was crazy people cut down the process to fewer rounds. It is just a sad reality.

7-10 rounds of interviews are definitely overkill. However, if they are standard interviews (DSA and system design), it's still much better than take-home assignments that could take more than 3 days to finish. Multiple times, I was ghosted following large take-home assignments even though I had executed them perfectly, with no feedbacks 😥
After 4 rounds i had another 4 rounds each with a director of engineering and all of them asked had 50% of same questions ( technical+ behavioural) its a networking company ..reminded me of goldman sachs
