Most of the companies laying off people are huge businesses that apply the most onerous of interview hurdle jumping practices.

They didn't cut down on the process, or the five stage interview processes during the last two years of over hiring, they doubled down on them.

There are very few careers where entire industries like leetcode, hackerrank, coderpad etc have been founded to promote the practice of making every Dev slog through a mass of made up crap intent on wasting the time of everyone involved to make HR feel like they've achieved something.
