Telephony & Data Solutions interview questions

The initial interview was courteous and uneventful. I met with 3 people from the company. The company is segmented into different divisions covering the local telephone work, data implementations, and a national help desk and distributorship for one brand of equipment. It was rather confusing as to what the position would actually entail because it had aspects of all three divisions. The second interview was definitely something I have never experienced before nor since. They discussed the position more in-depth (which it was still somewhat nebulous). They then had the owner/president of the company join us. He was quite a personality. I didn't quite know how to take him. It was almost an adversarial type of discussion that proceeded. When he decided to offer a position, apparently grudgingly, he started jotting numbers down on a plain legal pad and did all sorts of figuring to see what my pay would be. It came out at about 55% of what I had been making before being laid off, which was already 45% of what I had been making prior to that job. The questions and discussion topics during the second interview were very strange as well.
