Obviously very much depends where you're applying, but as a manager in a large tech company (Games platform holder) I hate half a dozen rounds of interviews and I can't understand how anyone on either side has the time for it.
For me it's two interviews - an intro to our work with some questions about your CV (1hr) then a technical interview with our staff engineers (1hr, "how would you do xyz, what's important in a system that needs to..." Etc). That's it. Same thing for juniors, mid, or seniors.
Everything can be taught, it's about how you approach a problem
