How many interviews for a job too?

I recently experienced seven rounds, with twelve people for a consulting position with a professional services and consulting firm. Interviews with the first six people over the phone. The last six interviews were conducted in an office local over a period of four hours. I got the job, but I had spent the seventh round, he would have been eighth round of interview video conference. I met Human resources, technology. Product Development, Consulting, Business Development, Sales, and executive management. Seriously, I felt like I was being abused.

Oh God! What? That was the stupidest thing I've read about job interview. Do not worry, there's always a better job waiting for you. Only optimistic.
