The worst bullshit interview I experienced was one where I was asked all sorts of questions about OO- design principles and concepts. I got the job, and was very surprised that the system, written in an OO language, was in fact, almost entirely procedural with large amounts of code duplication. I wrote a few code generation templates to speed things up for myself, updated my résumé and left after a few months. Ironically, someone else who I knew, happened to interview for the same job, and didn't know OO jargon as well as me, but was vastly more experienced and very intelligent (he had math, not CS background). He would also have been a great fit culturally and technically for the team, but was rejected. I still haven't figured out if it was vanity, self-delusion or plain dishonesty that led to those interview questions. But whatever led to that interview format, it failed to choose the right candidate for the job.
