I interviewed recently at a defense contractor and experienced something like this. I know you’re supposed to ask questions during an interview but I usually only really come up with two: what is your git/hg workflow and what does your automated test coverage look like.
Usually the second one has an answer along the lines of “not good but we’re working on it” which is fine. This place though tried pretty hard to convince me they were using git to manage their code right up until I asked the second question. The senior engineer sort of mumbled a few things ending with something along the lines of “we’re still figuring out exactly what the transition from svn will look like.”
I’m not sure why they didn’t decide to hire me but I feel like that interaction really upset someone and may have been a big part of it.
