All companies (regardless of size and paycheck) make competent developers go through grueling 4–7 rounds of interviews.
I've interviewed at many companies of all sizes in several countries in Europe and never faced anything closed to that. My current job I was invited by a former colleague to apply and the interview was mostly them convincing me to quit my job and work for them.
