The OP didn't define what constitutes an interview round. If they're being interviewed by 5 (now 6) people, we're incredibly close to ridiculous territory. If each round included multiple interviewers, we're firmly in clown show territory. If you need that many interviewers, your interviewers aren't on the same page or properly calibrated. It's a poor candidate experience. And from an interviewer perspective, getting 6+ people in a room is cumbersome and it'll be nigh impossible to come to a consensus. I routinely am an interviewer with Amazon and it's hard to navigate interview debriefs with four interviewers, a neutral third-party (i.e. 'bar raiser') and recruiter in the room. As an interviewer, I wouldn't participate in an interview process that had 6+ interviewers. As a candidate, the company better be doubling my six figure salary before I'll consider subjecting myself to that clown show.
