Technical Behavioral

The interviewer was late and unfriendly. They asked questions that didn't seem relevant to the role. In the end, there was no offer, and no reason was given. (I wasn't interested in working there anymore anyway.)

The interview was a video call with two people (a Director and a VP) and was meant as an initial get-to-know. We arranged it spontaneously over the phone. After a brief introduction to DWS and the department, they went through my resume, and finally, technical questions were asked.
