Interview
Degrading having to build a childs toy to compete with other adults for a position, while a table of at least 10 managers and team leaders watched making notes. I had over 13 years experience and didn't get the job as I was too old to have every used the type of toy to build. Unfair system not allowing people to prove themselves.

I found some of managment smug and personal which I felt discriminated by too.
