I interviewed with Esri for a frontend dev position in their Redlands office. First round started with a standard recruiter interview. Standard questions about why you want to work there, background, how would you handle certain situations etc. This was followed by a technical interview, where you had to solve some basic coding challenges in Javascript. I was also asked to create a small project using a JS framework of my choice and their JS API. This was a lot of fun. 2nd round was on-site at their Redlands office. It is a full day of interviews (8 Hours) with a total of 16 people interviewing you interrupted by a lunch in the cafe. It involved technical interviews (a coding challenge, testing of your technical knowledge), a wireframing exercise, review of your projects on github, some behavioral questions. It's good to get exposure to a wide array of people during these interviews, but 8 hours is a bit too much in my opinion. Because the interviewers were also from teams that I probably would not be working with just made it more complicated. Generally, I would have liked a bit more background from the recruitment team on how to properly prepare and what to expect for the on-site day. Also 8 hours of interviews is wasteful of everybody's time. I think a full morning plus a lunch would suffice. Finally, Esri was very slow to reimburse me for my expenses made during the trip down to Redlands. I had to constantly contact them about it. It took a few months before I was finally properly reimbursed. Big minus on their account for that.

6 rounds, each round 1 hour, and at odd hours, for a company and compensation that do not justify it. Worst interview I've ever given or seen. And it is not succession round based, they will take all 6 rounds and then declare the result. What a waste of time
