Sometimes I feel like you guys live in alternative universe. Nothing about the "bad" interview sounded too atypical. Sure it's annoying, but not uncommon enough to be exceptional.

I don't mean to discount anyone's unpleasantness but you'd be surprised how much worse the rest of the world is.

That's kind of the point, the "typical" experience is actually pretty bad for job hunters

Try to get a job in finance, accounting, marketing, law, or other kinds of engineering. 7+ rounds of interviews, weird pop-psych questions, even getting a reply/meeting is a problem ...

The solution to this problem is regulations.

If employers were obligated to pay prospective employees for their time then they wouldn't waste time
