Any bad impression or interview is an immediate disqualification, but you won’t find out until the very end. You can perform an interview incredibly well for 4/5 sessions, but that one outlier will cost you the job. This can even be due to a poor interviewer.
The arrogance of some staff is off the charts, to the point of being abused after politely correcting them on an interview question's answer that was misleading.

What current political movements do you support?
