went there for an interview as an engineer. In the middle of the interview the guy asks me what my parents do for a living. I mentioned that I am 31 and live with my wife and kids but he insists I answer the question.

On the job description there were a list of subjects they wanted me to know. The list came from wikipedia's article on computer engineering. They literally just copied every hyper-link term into the job description. The position advertised was for a hardware engineer but the entire technical portion of the interview was on software.

They really didnt know what they were doing.

EDIT: yes I have the right company. Never going to forget being asked about what my parent's did for a living on an interview.
