It's nice when places let you know they are a toxic environment before the interview is even over. Gives you a chance to move on before you get stuck working there.
The problem is if the company is good but just the hiring manager is awfull. You might actually miss a once in a livetime opportunity because one person is a self absorbed shithead. And after you are hired you would never meet them again
If they do a shitty job hiring a hiring manager, they probably mess up a lot more in less critical places too
You're not wrong. But having a shitty hiring manager is a decent heuristic for having a shitty culture/company.
If your server was covered in shit, the food might still be excellent. But odds are the rest of the staff is similarily poorly treated/chosen, and regardless they'll still have touched your plate...
