I also had a "good cop - bad cop" situation at an job interview for an internship position at a big software company. I was young and very confused about the out-of-nowhere aggression of "bad cop". "good cop" felt bad for me and he secretly gestured towards me that I should calm down. He also nodded reassuringly, basically telling me that I pretty much got my position there.

Turned out that "bad cop" was also "bad cop" during those 3 months I worked there. He had a really bad temper. I had my cubicle right next to him and had to listen to him shout abuse at remote workers on the phone pretty much every day. Ah, good times. I didn't want to work there after that experience.
