Unfortunately, that's definitely becoming the new norm. Even as a legal assistant, that's about what I'm having to do. It seems quite excessive and ridiculous, but that's looking for work in 2026 for you.
Very typical for in house. I tell people to expect between 3-8 interviews in general and the process to potentially take a couple months (though I've had roles hire in as short as a week). Usually after round 3 or so its down to just 2-4 candidates and its getting sign offs from other people, but could be they don't know who they want and want other opinions. Super annoying, but part of the game.
This is one of those trends like return to office where some big name has made a lot of noise around it and a bunch of wannabes figure they’ll become billionaires if they do the same thing. I avoid companies like this because they also love to rally around other terrible ideas like RTO and open office. But as mentioned above, it has become more commonplace. I took one offer over another because one gave me an offer after the second round on the same day while the other waited four rounds spaced out over weeks.
Are you sure they are actually all separate “rounds”? A lot of the companies especially in tech will do a “loop” interview which may be 4-5 interviews but that is considered just one “round”.
I went through a third round (after recruiter -+hiring manager) where I met 13 people! I decided not to go as a company this consensus-driven is likely all about politics.

It can be a very time intensive process to apply to an in-house role. At least most of the time now interviews are remote so you don’t have to take off a full afternoon and travel to an office.
To clarify, I was told how many rounds there are. I made it past a written component before the very first round (and that said to give yourself 6 hours)
I’ve gotten rejected after 7 and 8 rounds.
I’ve had interview processes with a lot of rounds, but they weren’t all the same or same intensity. Like, the screener call, the hiring manager, a couple more people on the team less important, simple drafting test, follow up in-person with the same people as before. So it seems like a lot but it might not be too bad.
What kind of drafting test? I'm trying to prepare for when I'm asked to do this.
