Is it normal to get totally blown out after multiple rounds of interviews?

[Anonymous]

I gave 4 rounds of interviews and by the 5th (which was with the COO) I was totally blown out. I had barely slept that day too and to be honest I just didn't feel like talking to any interviewers after 4 rounds. I got an email saying I was rejected the next day despite getting to the final round.

Not uncommon at companies like Google and Meta, although supposedly they are improving their methodology.

I applied for a job where they apparently liked my resume and responded with a 2 page (tightly spaced) questionnaire in which they asked questions about things like my HS GPA (I have a Master's degree) and both my experience and opinions on various technical tools. It took hours to complete, and I was almost done with it when I looked up reviews for the company. Apparently they followed that up with a coding challenge, a personality test, multiple rounds of interviews; people who had been hired said it was a 2-4 month process.

I sent a polite note to the recruiter indicating I was no longer interested.

Well of course, they're majorly stressful.

Not sure what kind of job you're going for, but I prefer more down to Earth.

I would not do that shit. 1 or two rounds is more than enough.
