I had 11 interviews, all with interesting, intelligent people who later became friends and colleagues. They asked a lot of questions about my past experience, especially situations in which things didn't go as planned. Despite the many questions, I felt the interviews were mostly chemistry checks to see if I would fit it. Still, 11 interviews is a LOT. Also: They put me up in a really dingy little hotel. Kind of depressing. If I hadn't LOVED the executives I met during the interview process, I probably would have been quite turned off.
