There are so many predatory companies out there. Honestly, keep a list of the idiots you've inteviewed with. Make sure your professional peers know to stay away from them
There is one employer near me who has employed 5 of my current/past co-workers. The stories I heard about them was awful.
A few years ago I was job hunting, got an interesting inquiry by an out of state recruiter who didn't say the name of the company. The company didn't reveal who they were until halfway through the 1st phone interview! When I told them that I wasn't interested in working for them, they got upset and started blowing up my phone. At one point a CFO from some other state called me on a friday night at 8 pm to try to bully me into accepting an in-person interview. Seriously insane!
