Is it a bad sign if I’m 4 interviews in with another one to come when the process was originally described to me as a 3 interviews? Feedback has been all positive but I’m not sure what to think here.

It’s not a bad sign. They wouldn’t spend time on you if they didn’t think you were worth it.

They probably just REALLY want to be sure you’re the one. Like REALLY REALLY be sure. You know? Like really.

Could be they're interviewing for a variety of roles? Had extra interviews once and it was because they thought I might be a better fit in other groups.

As mentioned, they would have stopped if they didn't think you were worth it

Its a worrisome sign about the company - not you. I read situations like that as a group of people who may not be confident in their decision making or who don’t have a process in place for how hiring decisions are made. There’s a chance someone wants to make sure some other stakeholder has their say ‘just to be sure...’

Not a red flag, but not great

This sounds like my group. We're 100% a mess and end up wasting candidates' time like this.

Not a good sign about the employer, OP. You can definitely find someplace better.

Relax. It’s all good.

It'd be worse if you were 3/3 interviews and they had decided to make it a 4 interview process without notifying you.

If this is EY the same thing happened to me and i received and offer

No. Not really. May be it is to figure out what service line to fit you into as well

VP1 - agree 100%. Slow decision making, too much bureaucracy, or power struggles... whatever the reason, it’s not you, OP. Perhaps you should go out and shop for other jobs. If this is meant to be then fine. If not, move on.
