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?

I always try to put myself in their shoes because things happen. But I give it 20 minutes, maybe 30 if someone acknowledges me. Anything more than that with radio silence? I bounce. That’s not just bad organization, it’s bad culture.

I'd probably have stuck around myself. It's annoying and disrespectful, but things happen and I really want a new job, so I'd be more tolerant than usual. Having said that, the wait coupled with the rudeness from the staff, the inflexibility, and the incredibly brief interview makes me think this wasn't just an innocent mistake, but the byproduct of a bad work culture. I would not want to work for this company based on everything you've written.
