Does this company think they lead some sort of Ivy League for businesses to justify including a ridiculously excessive number of steps in their interview process? I ask because I was actually able to gain admission to Dartmouth for graduate studies, yet was rejected from this no-name place after what I believe is a highly unnecessary step in the interview procedure. The process consisted of an HR phone interview, a high-level phone interview with the hiring manager, a technical phone interview with two data scientists who had no idea how to conduct a professional interview (e.g. they kept speaking over each other while being in the same room and seemed skeptical of the interviewee from the beginning itself), a technical test, an onsite interview, and an interview (medium unsure) with senior management. I was rejected after the technical phone interview. Why are there both a technical phone interview and a test? Just give the darn test and see what the candidate can do. Management needs to get off their high horses and seriously evaluate their interview process. You are not Harvard; you are not the FBI. You are just another one of millions of companies unknown to the vast majority of people.
