Just happened to me this week with a quite large international company: I got interviewed for an engineering manager role (that was also the title of the meeting in the email), at the end of the interview (2 hours), the interviewer told me that he is sorry but "they want someone with 10 years of experience and my CV doesn't match" but they will be able to recruit me as a SWE role if I want and then wait one year and maybe I will get promoted. Needless to say that even if I was interested, I will never work for this company.
