i've been doing this last 1 month too. Its a bizzaro world out there. 1. long application forms that takes a long time to fill with no response or acknowledgment after. eg: https://automattic.com/work-with-us/ https://automattic.com/work-with-us/ 2. recruiters who insist on scheduling on phone call when it can just be an email/text. 3. endless rounds or interviews with all sorts of weird stuff, 1. Take home assignments 2. hackerrank puzzles 3. pair programming on 'real world' problem 4. Open a PR to Open source repo 5. leetcode puzzles with stuff like dynamic programming. with 2 mediums/ 1 hr speed. 6. 'system design' interviews url shorterner with caching/replication/sharding/consistent hashing 7. 'behavior interview' .pre made answers to what was your biggest mistake. how do you resolve confilict with teammates. 8. Debugging sessions to find bugs in existing code. 9. 'real world case study', 1 hr presentation of challenging problem you've solved in ur career. 10. 1 hr 'life story' interview where you showcase your passion for work and life. 11. product design interviews. how will you improve our shitty product.

It seems to me you have applied to a diverse group of positions. For the same kind of roles, there is some diversity but interviews tend to be more alike.

Recruiters who insist on scheduling on phone call when it can just be an email/text. Or a video call when a regular phone (or voice-only zoom) would be much easier and quicker on both sides. Endless rounds or interviews with all sorts of weird stuff As if expressly designed to indicate just how worthless your time is, in their view. Its a bizzaro world out there. Yep - it's enough to make you say "F-it, just give me a CRUD job with a boss who isn't an outright asshole".
