Should companies pay for a time spent on job interview?

By my humble opinion and experience I think it's okay to go to 1–2 meetings/interviews for a job role without counting on any kind of compensation. But if the company having this sort of recruiting process with more steps and meetings/interviews where you will need to spend too much time on preparation / meetings I think that we should have some kind of compensation of course if at the end we don't get a job.
