Interview
Easily the worst interview I have ever had. I have done many interviews prior to this and they didn't ask any questions that you would be able to prepare for ahead of time. My interview was done over Skype with 2 people who took turns asking questions. I tried to prepare by using GlassDoor but I was asked any of the questions I looked over. I haven't heard back yet, but I am assuming I didn't get it based on how difficult the questions were.
