Question 1
They asked me if I was available to start immediately
The interview process was really disappointing. I was granted a phone screen through a meeting site, but when I was there 3 min early I was not accepted into the call until after the meeting time. Then, she told me that I was late upon beginning the interview! With very little energy and a snarky tone, I was asked what is something they should know about me that isn't on my resume. Thought that was an irrelevant question considering the phone screen was to "discuss my experience" (resume?). Not impressed
