Technical Behavioral

The interviewer wasn't very professional during this experience. I was engaged in the interview, but I accidentally turned away from the camera. The interviewer immediately called me out on it, and I found it frustrating because I wasn't sure how they knew I wasn't looking at another screen. The questions asked were pretty intimidating, and the interviewer went through my resume with a fine-tooth comb. Just a heads-up, this interview is an hour long, so you might want to have some water nearby.
