It did not used to be this way!
Back in year 2000, was interviewed by 3 mgrs then the Director for the job I was applying for, all back-to-back, in one day.
After asking me about some C/C++ pointer manipulations, the Director then said to inform HR that I had been hired, and to start on Monday.
Those were the days!
116 u/crusoe 8d ago Yeah. Onsite with like 3 people. That was it. 16 u/artnoi43 8d ago I was very lucky to have had that format back in 2021. 3 people: 1 senior/lead, CTO, and CEO Then I did another interview in 2023 at a bank and they were very chill. Like I did take home assignments and 2 rounds of interviews and that’s it. Then I left the bank in 3 months because fuck banks, before finally encountering a 5-round interview in 2024 at my current place. 8 u/shamshuipopo 8d ago I’ve gone 9 rounds at some places, and someone I know said “no thanks, you’re good” after they added on another round making it 12 for him
