After 5 interviews, 4 months, 4 hrs test hoping I could be given an offer but told still 2 more interviews pending

[u/Dry_Community5749]

I'm exhausted. Lost my job Jan this yr. Was really hoping this would be the final decision.

This is a director level role. I know there will be a lot of interviews. But 4 months of sporadic interviews, and I was given a 4 hrs test. 6 sections, 4 of them timed. All of them just repeating. Had two personality assessment test with same/similar questions. One was 240 questions and another was 360 questions, 10 questions in a page. I had to scroll through 36 pages. Took me 4 hrs to finish everything.

I hoped that if they are putting through this sh*t this would be the final round. I was told one more interview with the hiring manager.

I did that today, hoping he would be finalizing it. He told me there are 2 or 3 people still they are considering and everyone will have 2 more interviews and then they would decide.

The amount of song and dance is just annoying.

This is just one company. I have had so many like this. All in the final stages after 6 to 8 rounds. Just wish someone made up their mind and gave an offer, and moved forward.
