Months as in 2 months is pretty normal. FAANG processes often take 6+ weeks.

And after that, this is a fully general critique. Hiring well means that there's a bar hires have to meet somewhere. You can argue that their bar is too high, but there's an identical story with a lower bar. It's disappointing to see someone interview and just barely not make the cut because we're human and can empathize. That doesn't make it the wrong decision.

What sort of barrel are you scraping that you can spend that long on a hire?

The people I've had to hire were on the market for two weeks every five years if I was lucky.
