Those reports are simply not accurate! :)

Typically, for my team, the interview process is always under 2-3 weeks. The longest I've seen across all teams would be up to 1 month. The only times I've seen the process take a bit longer is when we have rare issues with matching candidate availability with interviewer availability.

For a typical position, you're looking at maybe 4-5 1-hour phone calls with different engineers and then maybe a 30-40 minutes call with the engineering manager for the respective team.



5-6 rounds then, seems accurate


Oh sorry I read 5-6 months. Yeah it's 5-6 calls total.


Okay. One more question, does the candidate knows that they are selected or not after all interviews conducted or they will know after each round that they are moving to the next round or not?


We typically do 1 call, then another 2 calls and then the final 3. At each phase, we let candidates know if they're moving forward or not.
