Is it a startup?

Yes this one is but every hiring steps/process looks the same! so many interviews!

Not saying you’re wrong but curious what you would expect or would be more ideal?

I guess I would assume that if someone might be a good fit, it’d be fairly obvious up front. I’ve been on hiring panels and I hated making people jump through hoops 😭

I’m at least heartened they don’t have a take home exercise. Best of luck in your job search!

I think the white boarding is maybe also a take home. I’m not searching but can’t help but nose around in the job descriptions!

Sounds like a pretty small company if you’re meeting with CEO. I’ve mostly worked with companies of <10 people so that’s pretty normal to me. References and additional interviews seems extra tho

Definitely seems like a smaller startup but the steps seem like it’d take a full 8 hours or so. Luckily I am not job searching, it all seems daunting!

Portfolio reviews are pretty standard, it’s the whiteboarding/take-homes that are the annoying part.

Yeah the portfolio review as the *3rd* step threw me off!

I know it’s maddening.

Everytime.
