Yes. This means that the interviewer likes your qualifications and wants his/her supervisors to meet with you hoping they see what the 1st interviewer saw at the initial interview. It is common to be asked back for a second interview to discuss more in detail such as salary expectations. Although a 3rd interview is less common. After the 3rd interview if they left you hanging but, call you back to come in again ask them nicely if this is standard procedure and push for answers.

Possibly. It depends on what company you're trying to work for. Some companies have a policy for at least 3 interviews before you can be hired. others might have more than that. The best way is to ask the people who work there. And be sure to ask more than two people. Some people get in with a different amount of interviews.

Yes, absolutely. Never getting called back is a bad sign. Usually companies want several people to get a "feel" for you and make a group decision. It is possible that you will be working with some of these people, and others might be from Human Resources.

Yes it is a good thing. I just got a new job and had 6 interviews. Many companies also want to make sure that your answers are consistent.

If you're not white it is a sign that you know your field, but some one at the company do not believe because you are not white.
If you're white it means they see something wrong, and want someone else to confirm it.
Or it may simply mean that the company is very old fashioned and bureaucratic or they take a long time hiring because the interviewers do not do a good job hiring the best and they are unsure.
Companies like that are not good because if you're brighter than your manager and especially if you're female your life will be hell on earth and you'll have to quit.

It's a great sign. You can start the interview by saying, "I'm grateful to the company for having me come in for more questions. I enjoyed the other interviews."
In theater it's called a "callback" after an audition.

I believe it is a good sign, but I would ask during the next interview if they are considering you for a job and when you will find out if you got it or not.

Of course it's good. If it happens again you might say, "Well this is getting exciting. This is my fourth interview. When do I get the job!" ...just to make sure they're aware you're receiving all these redundant interviews, or did you let then know already?

Sure. They are looking for someone who is the right "fit" for the organization. Usually when a company takes its time to do hiring right, they want people who are going to stay around a while.

Generally it is but it can be a hassle and frustrating. If you really want this job with this company the interviews will be worth it.
Good Luck
