Steve Yegge famously described Google's "interview anti-loop" where you got two interviewers in the pipeline that wouldn't have hired each other, so whatever pleases one interviewer would get you rejected by the other (and viceversa). In those cases there's no way to win. I suppose the length of the interview process increases the chance you'll hit this anti-loop.
