I was hired and presented with a system that didn't work. I knew nothing whatsoever about their proprietary system and wasn't even given access to their codebase. I wondered why they were being so spectacularly unhelpful with onboarding tasks. At the end of the week, I found out - the whole thing had been a test to see how well I would do, and needless to say I failed miserably.
They told me I was a bad fit, and I had to agree, but probably not for the same reasons they were thinking. I really dodged a bullet with that one.
