Programmers of Lemmy, what are your interviewing horror stories?

I had an interview where they asked me to set up 3 micro services (with full functionality), a Kafka broker, a frontend and to configure everything to run on Kubernetes.

According to them this would take "more or less 4 hours" and those hours would obviously not be paid.

I'm still not sure whether they were just trying to get free work out of people or if their expectations for what a software engineer is supposed to do in half a day are completely absurd.
