Strange Interview Discussion

I was interviewing a few days ago for an SVP role at a MM/UMM IB and the head of the group spent a solid 5 minutes of the 30 minute meeting (first round) basically talking smack about his existing team.  Particularly the VPs.  Certainly a red flag from a culture standpoint.  That being said, it just felt really odd.  Has anyone else had something similar happen or had any other very strange discussions during inverviews?
