The interview process was long and drawn out, spanning 6-7 stages, which seemed excessive. A decision could likely be made within two stages instead of extending it further. Additionally, the final stage was not as communicated—I was initially told it would be a one-hour technical interview, but it turned into a hands-on screen share with a request for extra time. In total, the process took 7 hours, which felt unnecessary, and there was a lack of transparency about what to expect.
