Behavioral Technical
The interview was virtual and team/Zoom style. During the first interview, only 2 out of 5 people were on camera, which felt awkward. For the second interview, none of the 4 interviewers were on camera, making it uncomfortable. I was speaking without any feedback, which felt very discourteous. I asked them to turn on their cameras, but they refused. I then suggested ending the interview. The interview was over, and there was no thanks. Given that kind of treatment during the interview, you can imagine how you'd be treated as a contractor coming on board. Employers, please note that we interview you too. You are lucky to have us bring our experience, time, and talent to your organization. Your superiority might work during a recession when we are desperate for work. But I am not desperate for work. Dodged a bullet with this company!
Confirmed questions1 question

I sent in my application online and then got invited to take an aptitude test. After passing that, I was asked to take a cobra test. I passed that too and then had an interview, and about a week later, I received an offer. Following that, I had to complete a fit for duty exam, a physical, drug and alcohol test, and a background check (which included criminal history, education history, and employment history). I also had a Respirator fit test. I started working about a month and a half after all those steps were completed.
