> It’s interesting to me that 9 hours of interview time is considered excessive by some people. Over my career I’ve done interviews that required plane flights, hotels, and multiple separate days on site.

I've never been flown somewhere for a multi-day process. 5-hours or less of actual interview time on those for me. The lead-up was usually 3-or-fewer 1hr calls.

Yeah, the travel eats up some other time, but that's different than being grilled for 3 hours straight on three separate days.

I agree with the "that seems overly excessive" position.

I'm very curious what marginal signal they think they get from hours 6-9.
