Am I an idiot for turning the possibility of 2nd round interviews down?
So I was applying for a position which involves customer contact and some technical know-how. It is an entry level position and they mentioned that no technical experience is needed. I have a finished degree in Social Sciences and started a Computer Science degree last year so I thought this could be the perfect combination of the two.
The online interview went well, then they invited me to their office. There the interviewer - one of the CEO's - was the only person talking to me for 2 and a half hours. He proceded to ask me very technical questions. When I could not answer some of them and got nervous he told me I "broke down" and that he worries if can do the job when things get stressful.
Worst part was: he obviously Googled the things he asked me on the spot and sometimes seemed to confuse the position with the more technical one they also offer.
I think the way he was trying to test me was awful and I know that people in higher positions are often not the most empathetic (altough he claimed to be ofc). Moreover he asked many personal questions about my friends and hobbies which I find unprofessional. He complained that the company had become too political and that he wants things too stay flexible, but also every employee should burn with passion for his company...
When he ended the interview and wanted to offer me the chance to have a second interview where I had to fulfil a task in front of of him and an expert, I declined.
Should I have tried to prove myself in a second interview or did I dodge a bullet there?
(P.S. I think having applicants jump through so many hoops, despite searching intensively is weird, but sadly how way things work nowadays. What's your take on that in general?)
