When you say most people, who are you referencing? Day long loops are the norm for my social circle. As in, get in at 9am, leave at 1-2pm. That includes lunch for an informal round.
- ainar-g 8y agoI guess I needed to be clearer there. I meant experienced programmers in Moscow, Russia. For the most part it's either one Skype call (<= 30m) and one personal interview (1h - 1h30) or two personal interviews. There are exceptions though. I've heard Yandex requiring at least four interviews, but my colleagues all tell me that they wouldn't agree to proceed on such terms. Apparently, looking for a job is a much more tedious process in the US.
- pkaye 8y agoI once interviewed at Apple many years back. Personal interviews with 19 people over 2 days! Well a few of them were in pairs (I presumed they were training their engineers to interview also.) I didn't make it through however not for technical reasons but cultural fit (maybe I didn't act fanatical enough about Apple products?)
- JustSomeNobody 8y agoIn the US it is basically a form of hazing. If you can make it through their process, you'll be accepted as part of the "family". blah blah.
- LandR 8y agoInterviews here are normally 30 mins on phone or Skype and around 90 mins face to face. There no way in hell I'm doing hours of interviews for one company. I also know very few developers who would put up that sort of process.
