I had this really bad interview experience recently. They kept me waiting over an hour past my scheduled time with no explanation or apology, wouldn't let me reschedule, the receptionist was really unhelpful, and then the interview itself was only 10 minutes. How long do you think is a reasonable amount of time to wait in that kind of situation before I should just leave?
