Is it really?
I'm sure there are plenty of candidates giving up because they received a competing offer and wouldn't wait, but I think it's reasonable to expect a hiring process to take a month, even in small companies.
Edit: I also have anecdotal evidence of cases where an offer would be made withing 2-3 business days after the interviews at both Google a Facebook.
- hrpnk 4y agoI think it all depends on the candidate's motivation to join a particular company. Candidates are more inclined to wait for offers from tier-1 companies (e.g. FAANG) but will have less patience for lower tier companies.

- zeroonetwothree 4y agoA month is really slow. When I last interviewed every place gave me an offer within a week, and they would informally tell me I was getting one usually within 24 hours.
