Depends how long the rounds are. 6 rounds of 20 minutes is only 2 hours.

If you think that’s unreasonable, please go ahead and add a few fire sauce packets to the bag for me.

How many interviews have you been on that a round is 20 minutes?

Whether it's reasonable depends on the distribution, not just the duration.

A 2 hour onsite with the candidate being rapid-fire interviewed by six different different teams and a 20 minute call every couple weeks for three months are very different (and select for very different types of candidates) despite having the same overall duration.
