10 hours?! That's a test of whether you'll work unpaid overtime and what kind of nonsense you'll tolerate. They have too many candidates and will probably treat you like garbage even if you could get the role. Which you likely won't.

I'd be well out the door before 2 hours. I've been in an office waiting for an interview and walked out after waiting 20 minutes. They rang me and angrily asked where I'd gone. I said I was on time and they had missed the interview start without a valid explanation. I questioned their punctuality and asked whether they were even serious about the position.

They were out of business around a year later. I guess they were too late for other people as well.

Interviews are two way. A lot of recruiters forget that.

Always be ready to walk away.
