Beware: red flag question + privacy violation ! The overall atmosphere of the interviewing process has been calm, polite, and professional. However, a few very unusual yet significant details happened: First, the manager who interviewed me asked 'how do you usually handle the clash with your manager ?". Throughout of decades working in the industry have never been asked this kind of pointed question (maybe once: 'how do you resolve the differences of opinions among coworkers ?'). I've answered it in the most suitable polite way of the moment. Based on the question like this, it seem that the buzz about the abusive management culture has some substance. The real 'icing on the cake' happened thereafter. The e-mail about the decision to not follow through came to my >workplace e-mail< (!!!???), despite the fact that I've never disclosed it and all the communication went through my private e-mail. This is clear violation of the standard common codex of respecting the privacy of the interviewed person.
