I generally get about five interviews when I look for new jobs. There’s a recruiter/hr phase, a project manager interview, a lead dev interview, engineering lead interview and often a coding challenge. You’re talking about 6 hours per position. That’s basically a full time job looking for a new job, and if you already have a job to do this is ridiculous. I generally always go for companies that 1) merge these interviews into three maximum 2) concentrate on the single most important thing: whether we can communicate well while solving a problem.
