They refused to talk directly to you, instead they used an interpreter even though they spoke perfect english.
No eye contact with you.
They wouldn't respond when you greeted them. example: Good Morning
Never said please, thank you, etc...
They made certain you understood they had a "Us" and "Them" attitude.
Refused to discuss needed details about the job. Instead you had to deal with the interpreter that almost always knew nothing about the job.
I could go on an on......

I have worked with automotive design and engineering staff from all around the globe, and they were by far the rudest bunch I have ever had to work with. But....they do produce very nice vehicles.

Sorry you have to work there. Good luck with that.
