You already won’t get the job.

Get there 15 minutes early, but don’t walk in the building until 5 minutes early

Better to be there early than late
If you show up really early. Just chill in your car then go in about 5 minutes early!

Get there 5 mins early.
They know you're coming and won't be doing anything important that you will interrupt. Get there 15 mins early and you arrive when they are going to the bathroom.
At least that is how it works out when I interview people

10-15 mins early is good.
30+ is too early. Plan accordingly, and if you arrive earlier than 15 mins, hang out in the car or check out the building (if applicable) before heading to actual interview about 10-15 mins early.

If you are there later than 15 minutes early that is not a good start. You need to at least appear to be a self starter.

Depends on the setting...If you are interviewing at an office and will be sitting in a waiting room, etc., I think 15 minutes is just about right. If somewhere less personal, I could arrive as much as 30 minutes early...but wouldn't want to do that if just sitting there with a receptionist all of that time.
I always found that I liked to get there and take a bit to relax before my appointment time.

Make sure to be very cordial to the receptionist and anyone you may see in the building on your way in.

If you have to ask these kinds of questions you need some more professional guidance.
If you are 15 minutes early you are on time. On time is late.

I always show up late and tell them my first choice job interview ran late but they made an offer.
Its shows you are in demand.

Absolutely not.

Try not to cry when you introduce yourself.

Somebody's shiftless brother in law already got the job. You're just due diligence.
