I've never done more than 3 interviews, and that was the exceptional case. Vast majority have been either one interview with the hiring manager or two interviews where one is with the immediate hiring manager and the other was with someone more senior within the company.

Typical fang interview.

—- prescreen over the phone with recruiter

—- 1 hour prescreen with one or two devs

—- 3-5 one hour interviews given within 1 or two days (previously called an onsight)

Maybe it's normal for FAANG companies, but FAANG companies aren't normal!
