#2Excuse the language, but fuck those people. If that's the way they're going to treat potential hires, they're going to have a bad time.
Re: Interview Humiliation
#3Sounds like a bad cultural fit. The OP was professional, talented, polite, educated and fit to lead a team. The interviewers were ... something else.

#4This is such comic book villainy I just don't believe it happened as described. I wonder how the other side would describe it.

#5What do you think of the practice of ending an interview earlier than scheduled when you're quite sure that the candidate is not a good fit for the position?
The rationale I've heard is that it saves both you and the candidate time.
But in practice, during the times when I've seen it done, the candidate ends up feeling really hurt.

Please do. Rejection hurts the same no matter how it's delivered and saving time lets both of us get a better chance to find what we want quicker.

Ugh, that sounds exactly like something an engineer would come up with. Saves time, right? It's more efficient so it's better. Except it doesn't even pretend to give the candidate a chance to save face, it's just naked rejection. But why should that matter, it's just emotions, it's not rational.

#10I never found out if I had done something to make everyone so angry. I now suspect that they were massively turned off by a host of things.
It's not you, it's them. You are lucky you got out of there, you would have been miserable.
