I worked in a company that did that a couple of times, but not to that extent. Usually the job description wasn't well defined and the candidate didn't have any champions within the company. We would keep on bringing the candidate in over and over in the hope that some new perspective would make the choice obvious. (it never did)
Oddly enough, when you decline to continue interviewing they often immediately send you a job offer.
Frankly speaking if you can't decide about a candidate after 3.5 days of interviewing there's probably something really badly broken about your interviewing process. Or just that its so inefficient.
I wouldn't have accepted the offer from the company, from the very outlook it looked like bureaucratic jungle where no one is capable of taking a decision/risk until they run through some 20 meetings to decide what to do. And then toss it on to some one else.
For that if this is what you make candidate run through, you are sure to get CareerCup interview questions ebook masters but not good programmers.

Absolutely, any company that does this has a totally broken interviewing process.
Though in our case there wasn't too much structure day-to-day, there was total lack of structure.
