> The interviewer just lost it. Went on this rant > And he was just plain mad. Uncomfortable mad. Good thing you found this out during the interview. No way you would want to deal with this on a daily basis. That's insane. If the company has an HR department you should consider telling them what happened.

> HR department you should consider telling them what happened. Why? Better you dodge a bullet and GTFO. Don't waste time with telling them what they probably already know.

  Fine to dodge the bullet, but please always provide the feedback if possible. It takes minimal effort, and can help avoid the same unpleasant experience happening to others in the future.

    I've done hundreds of interviews of various types. Do you know how many have provided me feedback? 1 (see below). All others either sent me a form email or ghosted me. Perhaps if I went through a recruiter, I would give the recruiter my feedback as a professional courtesy there, but I'm not opening a dialog to some HR department. And that unpleasant experience is also a very good sign to prospective employees to "DONT WORK HERE". If that's how they treat people they're courting, I want to know that up front, rather than see it a month later after relocating. So no, I don't want them to fix it (in reality; delay it). I want interviews to be the same way as a Unix process: fail quickly and fail loudly. And this interview certainly did that. (Glowforge, I didn't have the experience in the areas they were asking. And I'm happy they told me. And they were up front with me within 2 days, at that!)

    It will keep candidates from knowing about this bad interviewer - until they are hired. Now you may be stuck working with the guy. I would not tell the company for this reason.
