Question 1
Overall, the interview was very standard, they asked fair question, such as self-introduction, how did you hear about this position, what do you see yourself in five years, etc.
One of those places that expects you to go through rigorous testing prior to even getting an interview just to offer you a salary below living wage. Waste of your time.
