Getting an offer through the pipeline this time of year is very difficult. Everyone is leaving for holidays in random patterns and trying to get approvals and signoffs is hard.

hmm, if that is the case - why would companies be having me do 5 rounds each with 1-2 people on each round?

Because not all of them are in the office at the same time. And they're disorganized. And probably asking you the same questions over and over, right?

That should be a huge factor in your decision.

A comapny should be showing you their best face to get you to join. It's a two way street.

If they're this messed up just setting up an interview cycle, it will not be any better once you start working there. In fact, it usually gets worse.
