I don't think this can be overstated. If you don't enjoy the interview process, you probably don't want to work there.

I disagree with this. The interview that I enjoyed the most was with founders who took me out for beer. We talked a bit about software but most of the discussion was small talk.

After a few months of working there, I realized that some of the people in the office didn't really have any qualifications except "liking beer" and it wasn't a professionally interesting place to work.

My least pleasant interview experience was with Google but I enjoy working there.
