Had a thirty min phone interview with some basic questions. Then an in-person interview that included a tour of the office. I interviewed with two sets of two people and they asked me the same basic questions, plus questions about change, adaptability, and willingness to learn.

Had a video call with some developers from the team. They asked about my background, object-oriented principles, and some specific textbook definitions for programming languages. It felt disrespectful because the interviewer kept looking at their phone while I was answering. I'm not sure why they'd interview me if they weren't interested in listening to my answers.

- Could you explain object-oriented programming?
- What's the difference between a reference type and a value type?

First, a recruiter will call or email you to let you know you've been selected as a potential candidate. The recruiter was nice, went over the job duties, answered questions, and gave a salary range. However, the recruiter did exaggerate the bonus payouts. Then, there were in-person interviews with the Hiring Manager and her Assistant, who is the Senior Loan Processor. They both interviewed me at the same time. Later, the Division Manager came into the conference room, was introduced, and asked some questions. Finally, I had a one-on-one meeting with the Hiring Manager.

First I heard from the HR recruiter, and she was super nice and professional. What she forgot to mention though, was that I'd be talking to two different managers from two different departments during the in-person interview. That interview felt more like an interrogation. They lectured me on my resume wording and even asked some "illegal" questions about an employment gap. It wasn't a huge deal to me, just made things really uncomfortable. I pretty much knew I didn't get the job walking out, and even though they said I'd hear back in a week, it took exactly seven days to get a generic rejection letter from the recruiter.
