How long/short is your longest/shortest job interview?

Think the shortest I had was 5 mins... and I got the job.

yeps ... it's a well run org ... they even try to stress you out by asking you to explain your solution on a white board to a whole group of people .... and the tech questions were very tricky and went beyond generic knowledge ....Originally posted by FailureOfTheNation:wa.. thats bad..
its so stressful even just to get in!
these companies come up with such elaborate schemes just for interviewing only. they must mark the quiz and grade the test.. so much work to screen a single candidate.
does it mean that their HR is very well-organised?

fyi, it's a large com that has quite a presence in singapore as well ... though I dunno how they do it in singapore ... -
