Is it a red flag if an interviewer stretch the interview for 1.5 hrs. Scheduled call was for 45 mins.

Then the interviewer again calls after few days and says before rolling out offer letter I want to discuss for 10 mins. And the discussion goes on for 1 hr.

PS - it is a global MNC.

No, some interviewers prefer holistic discussions rather time bounded. If you enjoyed those convos, I don’t see a reason for red flag

It is a good thing. You are being evaluated on a larger level.

Not like that in every situation. I had given an interview (Director round) and it went for 10-15 mins though the call was setup for 1 hour. At the end everything went well and I got the offer.

He is just testing the depth of your knowledge. So a few times 45 mins are less to understand the knowledge one has and that’s why they stretch or else he liked to discuss things with you so he did

Every one has their own style. As an interviewer, I always ask for a 90 minute slot from HR. Ib prefer to take interview slowly so that candidate is comfortable. However sometimes HR miss the memo and book only for 60 minutes.

If I was being interviewed for 1.5 hrs instead of 45 mins, I would be happy. Firstly this pretty much ensures the interview is going great thats why it is going for soo long. Secondly the interviewer is teasing your boundaries by going indepth with your concepts and wants to check where your limits to the knowledge are. Noone wants to roast or humiliate someone for 1.5hrs.
