Had 6 interviews (each about 60 min long) for a role at an SF agency and didn’t get the job 🥶 not including the initial call with the recruiter. I wasn’t the “ideal fit”.

Please tell me this isn’t standard.

To be fair if I saw that I had six hour long interviews coming up with a place I’d know it’s not an ideal fit on my end hahaha

Hour long interviews? Bruh

Yep. “Behavioral questions”, too. Good practice tho I will say

This has happened to me multiple times over the last year. Maybe not the “ideal fit” part but meeting 6+ people for hour long calls only to be told no. Fun times!

Ugh. Sorry to hear that. It would be fine if I didn’t have an actual job to do lol

Hope everything worked out for you!!

Not too far off. 6 hours really isn't that long considering the importance of the decision.

To me it’s a sign that they take the hiring process seriously. Having great coworkers is one of the most important benefits an employer can give you.

Yeah they either take hiring seriously there or they’re trying to figure it out through you. 🤣One way to tell is if you interviewed with people you’d directly report to or just randoms. When Vimeo was just starting I was one of their first, if not the first CW to interview there. Went in to what I thought was a meet and greet with recruiter and maybe one creative, ended up interviewing with half the office. Was there all day, luckily I had some cliff bars and they gave me water. 🥵

This is the exact reason it took me over a year to land a new role. They waste your time with 5+ rounds then back to square one

Maybe they were telling the truth, which could be good for you. Not all agencies and employees are the right fit for each other. Maybe they’re super broey jerks and realized “hey, I don’t think OP would fit in here. They’re too kind and empathetic, and didn’t even vote for Trump.”
