Either that or performance reviews have similar problems. 5-7 interviews seems insane to me. Is competition that high to justify that number?

As a candidate I would give you 3 at most. But that would require me to be in the near vicinity.

5-7 interviews? That is more than many people need to form a marriage...

I also saw people having 10 interviews, and then get rejected :,(

8-15 years ago fb/google had 20+ interviews - and reduced the number based on research that after 4 they can predict it really good.

They mention 4 in the article, but that actually means 4 on-site. Before that a candidate usually has to pass a simple recruiter phone screen and a simple coding phone screen.
