I feel that a multi-day interview or a longer process helps weed out those who aren't interested in your company, just interested in a job, but I can agree some companies overdo it. As for meeting with multiple people who don't talk/coordinate, that sounds more like something that takes place in a larger company, whereas this article was about new startups, where I imagine communication would be stronger.

It weeds out everybody who isn't desperate for a job and taking those multiple days interviews with anyone that offers them.
>who aren't interested in your company, just interested in a job

Every founder thinks their company is great. People who want jobs will happily reinforce that delusion to get the job. Some companies are better than others, but most of it is really boring stuff. I guarantee that everyone working at your company is there because they need a job.

multi-day is TOO long. There is no exception to this rule.

It's not even about being attractive to juniors, seniors or mid level. It's just looking for desperate, even if you have a brand name.
