I had an online interview with three people on the panel. They asked me questions about my past experience and some situational questions about what I would do in certain situations. The interview was pretty quick, only about 25 minutes.

The hiring process had a long lead time and the communication was poor. The interviewers had a bad attitude, were disinterested, and shut down any questions asked. It seemed like there was very poor training for management interviews. I decided not to take the job because of the staff's attitude during the interview.

It was pretty chill and friendly. They asked me some scenario-based questions and about my past and current job duties. They didn't bring up anything about my personal life except to ask if I get along with my coworkers.
