What impressed you negatively?

the good cop bad cop interview style, where the bad cop dominated 75% of the interview. Instead of feeling under pressure and challenged, I felt like I was being straight up attacked. Also interviewers talked to each other for more than 5 minutes about their weekend/kids etc during my interview time, which was frustrating because I was the one who paid $X to fly out there to interview.
