We don't have the full picture, but it could have been that that was the only opportunity in the near future to stop the interview on a natural break. Usually the only break you get with big companies like this, is lunch time. | |

For big companies, usually there's some material that they expect you to go through, and study specific subjects. Both members of this interaction can stop the process in the middle. The difference is that interviewers can act as if the process just finished and the interviewee can't do that. Anyway, I think stopping the interview in the middle without raising your voice and being nice about it, it totally legit. Any feedback can be passed after the fact. | |
| Sep 1, 2021 at 13:50 | comment | added | Koenigsberg | This answer is in my opinion the best one for a simple reason: The other top answers assume perfect rationality from human beings, while this one does not. E.g.: Once you've spent enough time to see past initial prejudices, in my opinion it is more rude to further waste someone's time. - while this may be true for some people, other people are not as considerate. Obviously people can consider such behavior rude, because these people did. It's always bad to burn a bridge, so why not spend a little more time and complete the interview or excuse yourself in the most friendly way possible? | |

There is a difference between: "Where is the elevator?" and "I appreciate your interest but I believe that..." I once had fun chat over a coffee after we both noticed that I was in the wrong place because the recruiter had used glamorous data/system science words for glorifying a basic coding job. | |

| Aug 29, 2012 at 18:07 | comment | added | New Alexandria | This answer is most-correct because it addresses the impact to image/reputation that a job-seeker suffers from not being mature enough to provide clear feedback. When I've stopped the interview process, the person(s) that interviewed me always knew the details of why. This always fell back on the recruiter for poorly-matching, as wasting everyone's time. Craigslist Jobs: you're on your own. | |
| Aug 29, 2012 at 14:44 | comment | added | Dani | @EdRopple While true, does that make it not rude? I don't think so. Don't you prefer when they do tell you why you didn't get the job so you can improve? Just because one side acts in a way that is less ideal doesn't mean you have to follow suit. Communication is underrated, and fairly easy to accomplish. Even if you're the only one trying, you benefit in the long run; companies that want you will try to suit your needs if only you would take the time to tell them what they are. | |
| Aug 29, 2012 at 14:36 | comment | added | Ed Ropple | I think this is overly critical. Most companies I've seen won't tell you why they aren't interested in hiring you. That does go both ways. | |
