So? Companies need employees. They have to do what it takes to get them. If it weren't worth it, they wouldn't do it.
It makes sense to me that more time in aggregate is spent by the company than the candidate, because the company has dedicated recruiting/HR/coordination people that handle the process. I, as an already full-time employed developer, don't have as much time to burn with interviewing.
