I find this a waste of time and unnecessary when my 1st interview could have been with the 2 people. More time off work and looking more suspicious. This will be my 3rd time going in as I had an interview with the same company for another position that they couldn't set up so I could interview for both positions in the same day. Anyone experience this before?
This is common. The first interviewer, selected the ones to be interviewed by the next one. Same with the one doing the second interview. Each interview is with someone in a higher position. To expect the top person to sit in all interviews, is not the way it is going to happen. The top person in the interview chain, only sees a small percentage of people that are interviewed. Their time is too valuable to the company, to waste their time on ones that are eliminated. They have too many duties, to spend their time with a lot of interviews. The majority of the applicants will be eliminated before this person interviews them.
The higher you position, and the more valuable you are to the company. You let low paid people do the first rounds of interviews, to get the number of applicants down to a manageable level. You may hate it, but this is the way it has always been done, and will be done in the future. A $10 an hour clerk, does the first interview, and using the last interviewers set qualifications to select who will be interviewed by a $20 an hour person, so when it finally gets to the $100 an hour employee, who gets hired will not require much of the $100 an hours persons valuable time.
When I was hiring people I went in first and after I was done I had my small team of 3 go in and interview them as well. I wouldn't think of bringing them back when I could just do it the day they were already there. I guess I'm different.
I've had this happen. It was annoying and to me it suggested incompetence, because that's not how I arrange things when I'm in the hiring seat. They knew it was an hour drive each way for me, and they had already interviewed me three separate days, each interview only lasting 20-25 minutes. Total waste of my entire day. I ended up withdrawing my application (they had other issues besides the drawn out hiring process though).

Sounds much easier!! However I have never had this happen.

Yes, I did and worse. I had to take time off (a day) and a couple people were there to interview me but the manager apparently forgot and wasn't there. I never went back. It cost too much.

Did the same thing when they wanted round 2 and round 3 out of me. Round 1 already costs too much money when it's out of town, especially since for my interviews I went into NYC.
I was once asked to come for a second union with the same person that interviewed me the first time. Surprisingly enough, it wasn't to interview me, it was to offer me the job in person.
