I've had something similar happen to me once. I'm DevOps, very systems focused. I was leaving Cisco and got on an interview panel with 4 network engineers at some place. I caveated I know networking better than most but I'm by no stretch a network engineer. They agreed and explicitly stated the position was on the systems side and it was fine. The interview was only an hour and half. About 30 minutes into they ran out of questions and started to get bored. They tell they're all studying for their CCIE's and decided to start borrowing questions from the final exam. They decided to play "lets stump the Cisco guy". And did they? YES! Did they stop? NO! This was 7+ years ago and I'll never forget how uncomfortable and bad that interview was. They managed to dredge up all these arcane, stupid questions, some of which bore no practical function.. and listened to me "I dont know" for a solid hour I'm sure it left them with a bad impression of me, and it certainly left me not wanting to work there. |
