Often I remind myself that interviews are a two-way street - companies forget this, to their detriment. You are there to impress them, but they are also there to impress you - do you want to spend the next few years with them? Companies who forget this by putting obstacles in the way - e.g. several, progressively more absurd, interview cycles, arbitrary whiteboard examinations and so on simply put off the most qualified and experienced. Worst interview question I ever had? 'What is your opinion of the actor Kevin Bacon?'. What, are we in primary school? I thanked them for their time and ended the interview early.
