Bumped into a Hiring Manager who had rejected me

Interviewed at Adobe and Hiring Manager took me out for lunch. The loop went great except an interview where they had a couple of interns who grilled me on syntactical errors and wanted runnable code on whiteboard. I bombed that interview because I was like WTF in my head. Not because it was interns, but because they didn’t really know stuff. I was pissed. The day after getting a reject email I am at a grocery store and bump into the hiring manager. I say “Hi” and asked him “what happened ?”. He said “We didn’t find you as a right fit.” and he walked by. I have since then replayed the scene umpteen times in my head seeing myself burning him. I feel I missed the chance to at least give him the right feedback on how he should train his interns how to interview. How would have you roasted him ?

Don’t feel like they wanted to treat you seriously in the first place. Again, why Adobe?

I feel it’s an underrated company with salary at par with FANG.

Salary? That’s a firm hell no

Interns interviewing? The company would crash and burn soon if this continues, I'd say good riddance

Actually it’s a good result. It’s not rare for me to encounter unqualified interviewers and they may decide me not fit. This is a situation of being overqualified. Ask yourself do you really want to work there with them? With the manger who is not able to deal with incapable peers?

You don’t wanna work there.
