Declined offer

Neutral experience

Average interview

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Montana State University (Boston, MA) in Feb 2019

Interview

Not very long but technically intense. A lot of technical details were asked to present. The Second interviewer was very unprofessional. Too many questions unrelated to the job. Feeling like a casual conversation other than a technical interview.
