Initial technical phone screen. This interviewer was super nice.

Then onsite, a full day of technical interviews. There was not much focus on cultural fit.

They send you the interviewers' notes as feedback, which revealed some concerns. One of my interviewers had multiple instances of blatantly false information. He even left out my final solution to a technical problem. It became obvious he had already made a decision before the interview began, probably ageism or racism.

Lots of strong subjective adjectives in the notes they take; it does not feel data-driven.

They subtract points for exploring sub-optimal solutions first and don't appreciate iterative problem-solving. The expectation seems to be to go straight to a single particular solution without considering alternative approaches.

Culture seems cliquey and exclusive. There is no data to back that up, just a feeling.

The candidates you don't like are not as dumb as you might think. They are taking notes too, and when yours are misrepresentative, your bias becomes obvious.
