This is my first time interviewing with a company that has an HR dept – 5 interviews and a skills assessment over a 2 month period and they STILL haven’t made their decision?

This is for an entry-level position, mind you, that they told me they're “Looking to fill immediately”. I've never interviewed with a company who was so divided. In the past I usually have a phone interview with the person who would be my boss, then an in-person interview with the boss or my team, and that's all they need to make a decision. Instead I've had 5 interviews, each with a different person, so I'm basically giving the same information to 5 times. I can't keep track of these people anymore and have no idea if I'm repeating myself or if this info was already given to them by someone else. I really want this job, though, and my hope is that the drawn-out interview process will make potential candidates drop out. But it also makes me wonder how much bureaucratic bullshit goes on in the office.
