Saas

I had a tech screen this week for an operations role at a mid-sized SaaS company, and I'm still annoyed thinking about it. I'm a guy, 27, been working in ops/project-heavy roles for a few years, so it's not like this was my first interview or I totally blanked under pressure. The format was supposed to be pretty standard: some background, a few situational questions, then time for me to ask about the team. Instead, it turned into one of those conversations where two interviewers keep jumping in every 20 seconds and somehow you end up sounding worse than you actually are. The first red flag was that one of them asked a question about a process improvement project I led, and when I started giving context about the team size, the bottleneck, and what was actually broken, he cut in with "just get to the point." So I shortened it. Then the other interviewer stopped me to ask for more detail on stakeholder alignment. While I was answering that, the first guy interrupted again and asked why I didn't mention metrics first. This kept happening through almost the whole call. They'd ask for context, then act impatient when I gave it. They'd ask for specifics, then cut me off halfway through the example. At one point I literally said, "I'm trying to answer in the order that makes sense, but I can jump to the result first if that's better," and they just stared at me for a second and moved on. Super weird vibe. Then today the recruiter called and said the feedback was that I seemed experienced, but my answers were "not structured enough" and that I had trouble giving concise responses. That part pissed me off a bit because I was actively trying to adapt to what they wanted in real time, but the target kept moving. If they wanted STAR, cool, I can do STAR. If they wanted top-line first, also fine. But every time I tried to settle into one format, one of them cut across it. So now I'm sitting here wondering if this is actually fair feedback and I should take it on board, or if this was just a messy interview run by people who don't know how to interview and then blamed me for the awkwardness they created. I know candidates can get defensive about rejection, so I'm trying not to be that guy, but this one felt off in a very specific way. Has anyone else had this happen where the interview itself was chaotic and then the feedback was basically that you were the chaotic one ?
