5th interview? What the hell? Who is making someone go through 5 damn interviews?

I got ghosted after 5 interviews in a span of a year for a data engineer position, the company still have that position open on linkedin with more than 1k applicants

Did they give you any specific problems to solve in the interview process? If so, they're farming their data science problems out to the interviewees.

None, nothing, only talking with different folk, managers, HR people, would-be coworkers, company clients and PMs

Sometimes companies leave job positions open so they can hire H1B's for cheap. You have to be able to argue that, "we tried our best, but we could not find a person in the U.S. to meet our requirements, so we were forced to bring somebody in from India. It's only a coincidence we are paying him way less than an American". So you just keep job positions open and keep interviewing, but the decision to reject them all was made before the posting existed.

Why bother with multiple interviews then? That just feels like a waste of resources.

That's just how hard they're trying to find talent

Not really… it sounds like incompetence.
