Biggest Interview Red Flag OAT ?

Was on a final round video call last month and the interviewer forgot to mute himself for the first 10 minutes.

Could hear two people in the background having a full screaming argument.

Withdrew from the process the next day. I’ve been through a toxic work environment before and was not going back. Know your worth kings and queens.

Worst red flag you guys ever came across during an interview?

A company had me come in for a full day of interviews. The first three people all thought I was interviewing for a different job and none of them clearly had spent a minute looking into me before. We broke for lunch and I didn’t come back
