I met with the nice recruiter after the screening. Then she laid out the timeline for me...

2. Live coding Algo assessment (1.5 hours)
3. Take home project (~4 hours)
4. Virtual onsite (3.5 hours one day)
4.1 Take home discussion (1hr)
4.2 Systems design discussion (1.5hr)
4.3 Behavior (1hr)
5. CEO interview (1hr)
I'm sorry but if your this indecisive about a engineering hire that it takes you over 10 hours and 5-7 (4.1-4.3) loops to decide whether someone is a good fit or not, I think there's something wrong with that.
That is extremely careless and way too long of a commitment for a potential hire to dedicate your time too.
I withdrew my candidacy after the first interview loop as it was clear that this was an interview loop I'd rather not torture myself with.

Entrevista
I was interviewing for a full-stack web/server role (i.e. not robotics or embedded). The first round was a LeetCode question solved with a tree structure traversal. The next round involved building a velocity/gravity simulator. I dropped out of the process by this stage because they weren't testing anything related to the actual work I would be hired for.
