In small firms it isn't unusual for the team to get you to meet basically everyone else you're going to be working with before starting though. Especially in finance (eg. small private equity funds).

And they all need 1 on 1's?? You can easily get a culture feel with 2-3 interviews even in a group setting. 8 interviews is just ludicrous lol

In my experience, they dont ALL need one-on-ones but it certainly is helpful to meet individually.

In my experience, it can usually be meeting 2-3 people in a day (30-45 mins each) and a few over phone calls.

I interviewed with ~4 firms last year, all of which were 6-8 interviews (where i also count the case study and/or excel test as a round).

Several interviews in a day is very different from several rounds of interviews on separate days. I was assuming OP meant the latter.

At a certain point you're just wasting everyone's time.
