‘Flexible hours means your time is their time’: 20+ Seasoned employees share interview ‘red flags’ that warn them to stay away from certain companies

Job interviews are one of the most daunting experiences anyone can have. You're trying to make a good impression on them, they don't care at all about the impression they make on you, and your ability to pay the bills relies on how well you can lick the interviewer's boot. That's the reality of most job interviews, at least. There are select interviews that actually make you feel good when you step out of that foreign conference room, but this wouldn't be Fail Blog if we talked about corporate overlords and prospective employees holding hands and walking off into the sunset.

If you're here, you've likely been scorned a handful of times from a prospective job. Either they didn't get back to you or said "Thanks for your resume, we don't need it." But what about when you actually land the interview? The preemptive excitement is bittersweet (but mostly bitter) and you need to figure out if you'll be able to ace the corporate test they have waiting for you…

However, there are certain instances where you don't even give the company your precious time. "When?" you might be wondering. Well, scroll below and see for yourself!
