The process felt a bit strange; I'm even questioning if the position was genuinely open or if they already had a candidate in mind before the interview, given the nature of the questions and responses. The questions weren't technical nor based on my experience or knowledge, but rather on whether I had used or followed a specific tool/process. Obviously, the questions weren't this direct, but it was clear they were expecting a particular type of answer.
