10. Just my opinion

If there's another option and I realize usually there isn't, I wouldn't work for a company that requires more than 2 in person interviews. I realize there are odd spots that have people working closely with a number of folks that have conflicting schedules. In a real sense extending the interview process for the convenience of other employees demonstrates that either they don't respect your time or that both no one is really in charge and those with a voice in the matter don't trust each other.

If the only opportunity is multiple interviews then there are no options.
Not to say there aren't exceptions. Now and then integral people have professional or personal emergencies. One of my questions early in the hiring process is for the representative to outline the hiring process and sequence of interviews.
