When we interview people one of the questions we like to ask is "What's the biggest thing you've accidentally deleted?"

When people answer that question honestly and with humility it is a big plus.

Might be a plus for your organization, and it might be devised as a trap by another. It's like the biggest weakness question.

Oh, we can't hire someone who has made a mistake THAT big.

You don't want to work for a company that has that attitude anyway, honestly. That shows they have a poor attitude towards problems and probably will overreact to things like missing deadlines or pursuing a solution that ends up not working, etc.

You'll never know if it was a great company with a bad interviewer. It's better to use all the advantages you can to get through an interview and get the job to see for yourself. I don't think you can learn anything definitive from most interviews - they're mostly subjective, unscientific voodoo.
