I openly laughed in their faces when they told me the base salary. I laughed even harder when they told me that they only offer a training bonus of 50% of the rest of the departments. This was a panel of 6 members comprised of upper management.
Then, as I was being given a tour of the facilities and listening to how they were the "most innovative" in their industry, I pointed to the competitor's product which was dismantled on the shelves and said "wait a minute, shouldn't they be getting the credit?"
Needless to say I was given the "regret to inform" letter in the mail. In honesty, the only reason I went was to duck out of school for a few days, eat a free dinner, and get paid mileage even though a friend and I carpooled.
They did have good carrot cake, though.
