I recently interviewed for a software job where they want you to work at least 12 hours per day.

During the first interview, I had asked about work-life balance, too, and the HR rep said, "well I'm not an engineer, so I'm not sure." And then after my fourth interview, she goes, "just so you know, this will be a high intensity position. There is not much of a work/life balance.

The fuck do you mean, "fourth interview"??

This has been the norm for bigger tech companies for a while. I recently went through 4 interviews with a company that went great at every step. Had a chat with a HR folk after that about expectations, laid out my salary expectation, then was suddenly rejected the next day on not having enough relevant experience (I have literally 20 years of relevant experience).

I think they were looking for someone slightly less senior initially, but c'mon. Why waste everyone's time going through that whole process if you have no budget? I saw the post is still open and being refreshed on LinkedIn more than 6 months later.

Chiming in to echo others with my experience in my current job I had three interviews (that I remember, but I think it might have actually been four). The interviews that I remember in order were HR, engineering management, the rest of the engineering team. The HR interview was by phone and mostly to validate that we were on the same page as far as things like pay, qualifications, job description, etc. The second interview was with engineering management and done via Teams with video. The third was in person and in addition to another brief talk with engineering management they also showed me where I would be working and had me talk to various people on my current team to see how they liked me.

It has pros and cons. The biggest con I think is having HR and ATS at the front of the process as there are likely really good candidates that are filtered out as a result of not being able to balance their resume in such a way that both HR and Engineering sees their value.

Yeah, we do 3 and I think that's one too many. But we've rejected people in each round, so I guess it's working.
