OP again. Could you elaborate on Google and law firms? How many interviews is "normal"?

I do want to work at this company, which has a good reputation. It's a place where people stay for a long time. It pays well, and is supposed to be a decent place to work.

But this lengthy interview process is new to me. It's tough to impress 15 people (now more!). I fear I'm going to invest yet another day interviewing at this place, and then end up their #2 choice!!

Why does HR have so much power these days? At this company, HR is an active part of the process, which is new to me too. HR is just administrative at my current employer. They don't have any input as to who is hired. [/quote]

Agree about the HR involvement in the process. I once interviewed for a very specialized position with a huge corporation.  The last interview was with the HR person, who had been in the Washington office for about a month, and clearly had no freakin' idea what actual work would be done in the position they were interviewing for and what might make a person qualified to do it.  She kept asking me questions that might have been relevant for a position in the office that she just came from.  When I tried to figure out how to make my experience (which was perfect for the job) fit the questions she was asking, she just looked confused.  I decided then and there that I didn't want to work for a company that gave that much power to someone who didn't even know what the people in the office were actually trying to do.  [/quote]
