I had an interview yesterday, and they seemed completely checked out. The interviewer was late, absorbed with his phone, and barely made any eye contact. I don't want to overthink this, but would you still consider the role?

My guess is the role is already filled and they are going through the motions. Don’t sweat it and just move on.

I wouldn't take it seriously, no. If they ask for another interview, I would do it, but I wouldn't stop applying with the expectation that it would go anywhere.

If I somehow got through to the next round, sure. The interviewer's behavior doesn't necessarily reflect the company's as a whole, and it could be that they were just having an off day. I wouldn't be encouraged by it, of course, but I wouldn't withdraw my name from consideration either.

I wouldn't consider it! I had a similar experience but I accepted the job and they gave me the same attitude while I was working there. It was not fun and I ended quitting before my intended timeline.

I’ve been in that situation before, and it felt like a red flag for how they treat people. I’d probably still go through the process, but I’d definitely be keeping my options open and asking more questions about the team culture.
