I applied at a job fair and then had a followup interview about a week later. It was a standard entry-level engineering/morals interview and they gauged my strengths before a virtual followup with 4 other departments. They usually give candidates lunch while they rotate through departments, but this was right after quarantine started.

I met with a group of engineers from different backgrounds. They asked me about my resume and my experience in specific engineering areas. It turns out they weren't truthful about something important that was in the job posting, which I found out during the interview. They tried to sweep it under the rug and continue, but I decided not to move forward.
