I think sometimes people forget that sometimes the interviewers don't actually want to hire someone.
- They might be afraid of someone who might outshine or compete with them.
- They might not want to train or mentor someone.
- They might think they don't need help.
- They already have someone they want to hire and are just going through the motions of "looking".

- varjag 11y agoOn one interview where it felt like that, my wife straight asked if they have someone lined up and her part is just a formality. The manager denied it but was visibly upset. (Oddly enough, she (a construction engineer) was never asked to solve a few PDEs on a whiteboard or calculate a beam deflection over the phone)
