All the directors had a lot of basic questions about agile methodology and implementation. I felt that I was giving them an agile 101 crash course. The program manager told me he was the only person who reported to the director hiring manager. Most of the 45 minutes he was venting and telling me how bad VMware was! For example yearly layoffs that just happened, cutting the budget because of Dell tightening and that employees work from whom a lot including the hiring manager. He seemed worn out, agitated and was burping loud every two minutes!! It was very unusual how he was trying to discourage me to join the team. That told me something about the culture of the company. The recruiter sent me an email weeks after the onsite interview while I have already started a new job with another company and told me they have selected another candidates.
