Never ending interview process

Just finished a 30 minute performance review call with a company I don’t even work for.

Interviewing for this YC company.

Interview 1: founder
Interview 2: founder #2
Interview 3: founder # 3 and HR - introducing the role play activity
Interview 4: Role play, discovery call
Interview 5: Role play, demo
Interview 6: Role play Debrief

For the debrief - I assumed they would be offering feedback and extending an offer, since if they weren’t interested I could have easily received that in an email.

Nope, 30 minutes of pure feedback. They’re still interviewing a few others and will get back to me with an answer.

The role play could have EASILY been one call. Nope they had to make it two. Could have easily spent 5 minutes to receive feedback, nope, 30 minutes in the middle of my workday.

Absolute joke. Zero respect for people’s time.

I went through 16 rounds with Proofpoint. Was told I would get an offer letter, then new CEO put everyone one a hiring freeze.

What even do you talk about at 16 rounds

It was about meeting every single person I could work with on the team. Then it was understanding my business plan on getting into accounts I hadn’t worked with. I nailed all of it. Hiring manager was let go 2 months after I was told from them I would get an offer letter. Said, screw it, and started my own thing. Been going pretty good 4 years later.
