Interesting perspective. Was the author of this blog post still involved at the time? Or was this after his departure?

Having the CEO try to dunk on applicants during interviews is not a great sign for any company.

> Having the CEO try to dunk on applicants during interviews

Wasn't the CEO, but the CTO at a startup I was applying with years ago swooped into an interview at a place I was pretty sure I wasn't going to accept an offer from, while I was at the whiteboard solving some stupid thing.

He immediately started arguing with me about some code on the side that was from a previous question, kept interrupting me when I tried to correct him, and then told me I should be cleaner about my work when he finally figured out his mistake.

I thanked the person actually interviewing me (not Mr. CTO) for his time, picked up my stuff and walked out without another word.
