Case IQ Test Automation Developer interview questions

I applied online and was immediately contacted by the HR representative who wanted to setup an interview with the hiring manager. The interview with the hiring manager went very well -- he knew his stuff and had a decisive vision of what he wanted from the person he was going to hire. I answered a few QA and coding related questions and chatted with him for a bit before the meeting ended. I was given a DISC personality test to fill out at home and waited for a follow up interview. A follow-up interview was setup a week later with the board members of the company -- and this is where things got weird. The board members seemed to be saying "we don't think we need a test automation developer, but the QA manager says he needs one." The whole meeting seemed to be aimed at making me defend a job that I hadn't even been hired for yet. Oh and to top it off the dreaded DISC personality test was brought up and I was made to defend my results in front of the board members. The atmosphere created by the board members was very negative and antagonistic. And to top it off, they came back with a job offer with a salary that was $10k less than what other companies in market are paying for the same role.
