I have a heuristic that puts such "adventures" in perspective:

How you hire is whom you hire.

You'd think more outfits would be more methodical and coordinated about hiring, but we all have head scratcher encounters and (too often) even horror stories. Or you get hired and look back and see a red flag fest that was the interview and onboarding process.

What you experienced is (likely) what that organization is. Yes, it sounds like you wanted the role and were a great fit. But that role exists within a context, a context that rubs you all the wrong ways.

Unfortunately, just move on. There's better waiting for you somewhere.
