The more you need it, the more you sweat it. Thank God I don't have to go through that crap anymore!

The presumptive interviewer (the Employer) interviews the applicant. To me, and I have done a lot of interviews over the past few years, it is a two way street with both sides having a lot at stake. And because of the asymmetrical information each has they had better both be on their game, well prepared, and curious about what each has to offer because the more aligned and of the same tribe the parties are the better the likelihood of success. The person being interviewed had better be well prepared about what he/she wants to know about a potential employer ... culture, style, rules, tasks, opportunities, necessary skills, etc., etc. It does not sound like any of those interviews held anything remotely like the two way street an interview should really be.
