Here are just a few:

1) All day interviews. Seriously, I've had an 8 hour interview. They served me breakfast, lunch and dinner. This was after several other rounds of interviews.

2) Expecting me to perform "free work". I have had several companies insist that I create and submit "sample" projects. This is NOT simple stuff like FizzBuzz. The projects realistically take 20+ hours and are solving non-trivial problems. This is before you even talk to anyone.

3) It can take weeks or months to go through the process and finally get an answer: one way or the other.

4) Companies straight up lie about everything, from working conditions to performance expectations.
