No, it's not.
That being said, I've interviewed dozens, if not hundreds, of candidates, and have received thank-you notes from a handful of them. These notes are not part of the rubric used to evaluate them for the role. They also tend to come from weaker performers, so if anything, such a note is a red flag.
Exactly this! Additionally I cannot think of a single person I've interviewed who hasn't said thanks at the end of the actual interview. How big a lunatic must this guy be to be SO out of touch with reality on this one?
