First, there was a phone interview. Then, I had a follow-up interview with the VP. The interview with the VP was the most awkward and strange interview I have ever had. It finished in 14 minutes where he abruptly assumed I was done and didn't have any questions. His attitude and personality were so strange I don't think I would have accepted the offer.

It was a pretty chill interview. They asked some really simple questions. We just quickly went over my resume and credentials. Then they asked about my proficiency and past work experiences. Besides that, they mostly talked about the job and what they expect, and they were seeing how I'd respond and if I was interested.

Behavioral Technical
The recruiter was professional and helpful. The hiring manager I interviewed with was cocky and unprofessional and seemed she didn’t even want to be interviewing in the first place. Very dry not welcoming. It was a video zoom interview. I was on video however she wasn’t. Her manager was on the call but she never introduced herself was just there hanging on the call. She wasn’t on video either. Neither addressed why I had to be on video but they felt they didn’t. Extremely unprofessional. The questions that were asked were not relevant to the position and it felt like an interrogation not an interview. As a professional in management I saw a lot of red flags and actually glad I saw them up front as this is not an environment I would want to work in.
