I was being considered for a 3rd shift support position shortly after they were acquired by IBM. After six interviews which included a 90 minute Unix lab they were still undecided. They then scheduled me for a SEVENTH interview which I bombed and was subsequently passed over. The process was so ridiculous it is now amusing thinking back about it. It was also exhausting and demoralizing. I got the impression that it was a game of hot potato among the hiring management, no one wanted to own any decisions.
