Maybe at the C level, but for my experienced sales positions, it's 3 max. I someone told me upfront 9 for sales I would walk out.
Reminds me of a sales manager that interviewed me a month ago. He told me in 5 months he interviewed 120 people! My gut told me to walk out there but it was a good company/$$$ Good god man who do you actually support your sales people? Can't make a decision? Who want a SM like that?
I think 1 interview should be more than suffient to have a good BSing and hack pschological session. Any more than 2 or at most 3 and I'd just tell them to stuff it. When they start piling on 6 interviews, giving you assignments, junk science psychological testing ... they are just wasting your time and it is best to withdraw.

Seems like good way to weed out those that don't really want the job. Stupid waste of time though. We'd never do more than two interviews and most of the time it's one.
Most of my interviews are quick. Walk in, shake some hands, talk about what I can do. Usually I find out if I got the job at the end of the day, but sometimes at the end of the interview. This multiple rounds crap is crazy.
Not only is this an enormous waste of everyone's time, what could you possibly ask six to nine different times?!
You could gloat about the power you have over others lives.
Seriously though, what a waste of time and money. Must be nice to get paid while listening to people begging for a job.
Apparently, corporations are whining that people have to work for less and less every year, but they have plenty of money for crap like this.
