I had one interview at a financial "family office" where a rich person forms a company to manage their investments. In this case it was a high profile trade who was banned from taking customers.
I was brought in, I mined the front of house staff. Its always good to see how they are feeling. Plus if you are nice to them, you get the good biscuits. They looked fine, until they started talking about the CEO/boss. They then looked stressed.
The interview started started a bit odd, the first person that interviewd me was nice, but looked at my CV and said: "well youre a linux guy like me, but they really want a windows guy" I thought it was a bit odd as the job spec was mostly linux hooked to AD (which was a dark art at the time, one I had mastered.)
Interviewer one went out and brought in the "head of engineering/systems/something".
I was treated to four sneering people. The "Header" started off with "oh you can't do windows can you?" I replied that I can hold my own(insert story about AD migration) This shut him up a bit, and made him more hostile. His acolytes (think crabbe and goyle plus two extras)
The interview reached a natural end. I was then told to go out and get lunch, and come back for more interviews. I leave my stuff there and go out for lunch, and come back at the ascribed time.
I walk through the door to where stuff was, I can here a stage whisper "OH my god, he's come back, whats he doing here? No you tell him to go."
Neeedless to say I did(Edit did not) get the job.
I wrote a message to the recruiter explaining what happened, and that I expect grownups to tell me to my fucking face that they've made a mistake.
