None of these were FAANG companies. This was long before FAANG was a term, btw.

FAANG companies, even 3-4 years after the dot-com crash, were 8 something hours - but over a single day, all at once. Grueling to put it mildly. Though lunch was in there too.

The other companies were pretty mellow comparatively, but did take longer.

The one I ended up working at (small no name company in the midwest), I flew out and spent 2 days interviewing and negotiating with.
