Met at a Job Fair. Had an interview on campus which was challenging but relatively easy. The person who took my interview wasn't really good at communication and had broken english which led to some miscommunication in the interview. The person I met at the job fair was cool though

Question 1

Applied on their website and then received an email from a recruiter to schedule a phone screening. I expected to be interviewed by the recruiter (the person who sent me the email) but instead was called by one of their engineers.
