[quote=Anonymous]I had an awful interview for a 6-figure role where my would be supervisor was obviously an insane tyrant she:

1. Made me take a timed grammar test with a number 2 pencil (no eraser) sitting in her office while she stared at me

2. Then had me interview my direct reports of which one started crying hysterically that taking this job was the worst mistake of her career and how she cries herself to sleep every night

3. Was then offered the job on the spot with "I don't really like you, but I need someone to do the work so I am offering you the role"

Umm...no thanks.  I excused myself and said, the culture would not be a fit for me - and ran out of the building.

I had another interviewer (a VP) show up high on prescription drugs. She slurred her words then told me she was high. Then barely asked me questions and spend 45 minutes trashing the previous person who had the job.

"She just thought she was so smartt...wwwwith her MBA...you know that doesn't cut it. She's not smarter than me..."  AWKWARD.

Then I got a rejection letter before I even made it off the 15 min metro ride home.

I went on 9 interviews at a giant Corp where the main guy kept saying "How are you going to compete with the guys (frat guys) from Dartmouth?"  (These were my would be coworkers) Umm, I can play a mean beer pong too and they were my coworkers who had totally different roles.
