You do have control, actually -- you can always say things like "Sorry, but the number of weeks / rounds does not seem to be in line with the TC being offered", knowing that this carries a moderate-to-high risk of rejection. Or if that is too blunt for your style -- you can always politiely excessive rounds of LC, interviews that start before 9 a.m. in your time zone, or (one of favorites) interviews with people who expect you to have your camera on while they have theirs off. Or any of the other tokens of gratuitous unpleasantness, carelessness and plain one-sided-ness that these companies routinely rub in our faces, as if we're desperate to work for them. It just depends how much FY money you're sitting on at the moment. Like anything else in this industry.
