  I've learned in the past few years that, if the interviewers gripe about anything in the interview (especially management), it's best to stay away from that company. In an interview, the company is trying to put it's best face on to sell themselves to you, and if the employees can't hold it in for 30 minutes, that's a bad sign.

  I've been on both sides of the horror story style interview -- as an interviewer and an inteeviewee. As an interviewer, if there was someone we liked, we were brutally honest about the company culture. We (myself and my manager) wanted senior engineers who weren't afraid to speak up and help shake things up in the larger organization. If they still accepted the offer, they were what we wanted. We had too many people quit out of frustration instead of fighting. At another job I applied to as an architect, the manager told me all of the issues with the processes (and lack there of). He tried to "scare me away". I asked him one question. Will I be able to come in and make the changes needed and will he have my back if I inadvertently step on toes trying to do the right thing? He said yes and I accepted the offer.
