> 4-5 hours is pretty excessive for an interview process actually.

> A candidate cannot be doing 4-5 hours for an interview process just to hear a no at the end. Successful job hunts need to have many irons in the fire at once and if each one is taking 4-5 hours there's only so much you can realistically take on

You misunderstood. 4-5 hours is for the entire process inclusive of all steps.

Not a single 4-5 hour session.

Companies generally don’t allocate a lot of time up front to every candidate. They have stages starting with a screen and moving up from there.
