In addition to what's been mentioned: Did they respect your time in the interview process? -Good: schedule a full day of interviews and make the offer within a day or so. -Bad: ask you to come into their office several times, or make you wait outside the CEO's office for 30 minutes (feel free to replace CEO with department head, partner, etc) Did the interview involve a reasonable number of people to make a decision? - Good: mixture of peers or management levels, each interview session has a clear point - Bad: lengthy HR gate keeping, meeting with multiple non-technical people to evaluate your culture fit, seemingly everyone in the org needs to sign off on a hire In general, I've found that organizations execute "real" projects the way they execute interviews.
