Interesting bit about the 18 interviews. While your company sounds like something really cool, I'd probably not go through all those interviews unless a) they're brief and we move through them quickly (like, in <2 months tops), b) I know about the process in advance so I can prepare and c) I'm paid for my time, starting from after the screening interview.

Regarding c) - 18 interviews, each taking at least 30 minutes (screening would be 15 on average but other would make up for it), that's roughly 9 full hours of my very own time, if not more.

I had one quick phone screening, then 2-3 hours on Skype, then they flew me over for a full day of interviews. the whole thing was less than a month.

Ah, so by 18 interviews you also meant e.g. 8 interviews during a full day? For some reason I thought it was spaced out, like you had 18 calls :D

yes, I met almost everyone in the company over a single day. Some guys I talked to several times.
