Here's the secret: Don't apply for those jobs and cut your losses short by finishing the interview yourself and walking out. TL;DR: Bad interviews are a strong, pretty reliable symptom of a lack of good company culture. What few people understand is that interviews aren't just for the employer, they are also your chance to choose who you're working for, what you get to know and how to progress your career. Your colleagues are the people who you will regularly spend more time awake with than your spouse. They say "you don't leave a company, you leave a boss" — and it's true. Interviews are exactly the other side of this coin: You will usually sit across the table of your future boss. So choose well, as your choice will have a profound impact on your wellbeing for next few years, impacting work-life balance, chances and hirability afterwards. Don't screw it up and just politely leave as soon as possible.
