How often does this happen? Is it a very good sign if that does not happen?
Yes they walk you out
Would you rather waste your whole day?
This is very common, at least in the trading industry. My previous company did this too.
We used to do this at MSFT too.
Yes. Btw, it used to be 2 interviews before lunch
Very common behavior. It saves everyone time, including you.
My friend who did an onsite last week said out of ~ 10, 2-3 stay for the afternoon round
Yep, i was walked out. It's a good sign if it doesnt happen, but it doesnt definitively mean that you will get an offer either.
Those fuckers walked me out after a nice lunch. Went to a bar and got wasted. So yes, it does happen
This happened, but even if you go to the end, still might get rejected
