Over the past 25 years or so, I can think of a half-dozen offers I've turned down because the employer failed the interview. (Which doesn't make me a geeenious ... just someone who values low blood pressure, and prefers an interesting work environment over $$$)
OK, can't ignore a straight line like that...When I was living in Chicago, a head-hunter steered me to a consulting firm that had a hot project. They were looking for young hot programmers for a top-secret project.
After the phone screen, the company called me in for the face-to-face "interview". I put the word "interview" in quotes because, for 25 minutes, the chief programmer of the place played a video game he wrote. That was the extent of the interview!
The company? A game studio (back when game studios were new) who had a contract to develop games for the to-be-introduced Coleco Adam. Um, that was a surprise, and not my thing. I ran out of there...
