But going onsite or remote interviewing for 4 hours is more reasonable? Looking at the original post they have a 4 hour at home coding assignment that’s followed up by a group presentation. I’m guessing that one is an hour or so. Figure another hour or two to prepare for that. It doesn’t seem like it is much off from a typical 5-6 hour on site interview. Plus I think you can get more of a signal about how they can explain a problem that they spent some time thinking about vs trying them trying to get excited about a leet code problem.

The advantage of interviews at least is that it's two-way. That's time out of their day as well as mine. When I'm interviewing at a company, I'm also interviewing them to see if I want to work for them. Doing a take-home assignment is completely one sided. It takes up my time but basically none of theirs and it gives them information about me, but not the other way around.

>But going onsite or remote interviewing for 4 hours is more reasonable? I would never subject myself to a 4 hour interview either. What information can a company get in 4 hours they can't get in 1 hour? Seems like a massive waste of time done by a hiring process created by people that don't know any better. If you want seniors to even consider you, you need to ditch all that garbage and save it for people fresh in the field. Now if you are willing to pay double market rates you'll get more seniors willing to go through that, but if you are paying "market" rates and "good" benefits, you're not going to get the interest.
