I'm looking for feedback and I don't know whether to prefix the title with "ask HN".<p>Here's my story. I was referred to a role by a previous coworker/manager close to a month ago. I've had three interviews, each with positive feedback. Yesterday I had a phone call planned with an HR person. Since there was no indication of further interviewing, I figured I would be getting a decision. Turns out they need a fourth interview with a manager that I've already spoken to. The reason? "We just want to answer your questions" is what he said.<p>One thing that makes this unreasonable is that the first interview with that same manager went way over time, likely due to follow up questions. We're talking 30-40 minutes over time. Also: if I had additional questions that went unanswered during the interviewing, <i>I would have contacted them</i>.<p>So it really feels like they're trying to stall so that they can continue to interview more applicants. I can't hold out indefinitely because of school. Also I feel like I'm having my time wasted. I get a bad taste in my mouth knowing that I came in strong (the referral), performed well, and that they're prolonging the process. Any suggestions?
