Morris interview questions

Two leaders interviewed me in a comfortable lounge. We drank coffee and conversed like a group of friends who had not seen each other for a while. Due to the HR screening the human resources director present appeared to be a mutual friend introducing two great people to one another. We discussed a wide variety of topics throughout the process while also covering the jobs aspects and expectations. I as the interviewee was allowed to ask questions at any time. I was asked to give feedback about my surroundings as well. It was engaging and realistic.

I did an online test, and was called for a phone interview after that. The phone interview took approximately 7 minutes. A week later I was called in for an in person interview. Someone wrote that the interviewers seemed to be looking more for a friend than a for great candidate and I'd have to agree. Despite this,the interviewer was nice which I guess was a plus. The interview process took approximately a month and red flags started to appear. A few days after my in-person interview, all of the references that I provided called me to tell me that the person from Morris checking references was extremely rude, condescending, often interrupted them when speaking. Had it been one reference I could have chalked it up to miscommunication. Because ALL of my references called me and told the sme thing, I withdrew my application and took another job offer. If a company is rude to my references, all of whom are high ranking executives, I'm not willing to find out how they would treat me as a worker.
