I’ve been doing this for a long time now, and I’ve had good results from companies with humane interview practices.

Places that treat candidates poorly tend to treat employees badly, and companies that drag out the interview process tend to miss out on in-demand talent.

As a result, places that respect your time and well-being have been more likely to have good engineers who have stuck around. Places that are toxic and/or bureaucratic tend to combine bad hiring with high turnover and create a terrible environment.

My current company has the most humane interview process I have ever experienced. When I started I was shocked by how many good engineers had stuck around for 5+ years, a few for more than 10. That's crazy for a non-FAANG non-legacy software company. It turned out to be a great sign that the company respects one's time and well-being!
