Just going to leave this here and read the comments: Corporations, Hiring Managers and Recruiters!!!- enough with the 9 interview process! I’m not sure if it is to fill your calendars to look busy, your too afraid to lean up to make a process change that is terribly broken or you’ve just grown accustomed to “well everybody does it this way”. Enough is enough. It’s a total waste of everyone’s time and Corp $$!! 3-5 interviews tops! That incl. the phn, F2F and Exec panel interviews.

Honestly, even 3-5 interviews is borderline a little excessive. It does seem terribly inefficient, though. There's no way you actually need anywhere near that many rounds to know if a candidate is a good fit, employers have just gotten accustomed to having all the leverage so they makes these processes drag out as much as they want.

Just lay out your expectations in advance and tell them you're not going to entertain an interview process that has more than X number of conversations. I was interviewing with an IT VAR once and after the sixth interview, when I was told there were more steps remaining, I put stop to the entire process and walked away.

Faced this weird behaviour from Optum recently. Gave interview for Data Scientist position. HR said feedback is positive. Asked for documents. It's been month now since I have shared the documents. I have no update on the offer. Today I called HR, she called me back saying the position is on hold due to recalibration in team, She has shared interview feedbacks to other teams and will get back to me in couple of days. I am clueless now. My last working day is approaching (In a month). Any Help??

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
