A friend of mine went through 7 rounds of interviews for a senior position in a tech company.

The sixth round was actual work, coming up with a preliminary plan for their first 90 days at the company in the position. It took them about a week to pull together and finalize.

The last round was a 15 minute discussion with one of the founders (who has since moved to the board and isn't involved in the day-to-day any more).

About 30 minutes later they got a call from the recruiter saying they "weren't a good personality fit with the founder" and they offered the role to somebody else.

Let me guess... they took the plan implemented it and 90 days later do the whole process again with someone else. Basically, they never hire anyone and get free work.
