So there were 3 people interviewing me. They mentioned that it was just one round and they would select candidates based on that single interview. After the interview, which went well, there was a background check, but I haven't heard back since then.

It was one interview and then HR confirmed my interest. After that there was a background check. There was a long wait and then no information. They lied and said the position was on hold when I reached out. Turns out it has been filled by other candidates. The lack of communication from HR was staggering.

An HR person called me but I missed it so I had to call them back to find out they wanted to interview me. They asked me about the salary and I had to ask them what it was because they didn't know. Then I had to do this horrible recorded interview on the computer. After that I had an interview with 5 people who asked really stupid questions. I asked them about the job duties but they couldn't tell me anything. Someone said I would hear back in 48 hours either way but I never did and the job is still open.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- The situational questions they asked were ridiculous, especially for a city job with a basic salary.
- They read from a script instead of asking about my background and how I could add value.
