The interview process was really long and took a few weeks. Some interviews were cancelled and rescheduled, and sometimes they just didn't show up without any notice that they were delayed or cancelled, which was pretty disrespectful of my time.

The interview was mostly about my interest in the position and how I thought I could add value to the company. They asked about how I would handle stress in a rapidly evolving setting and how I'd manage what upper management or clients expect.

The interview was conducted online by an external HR representative, and the interviewer did not turn on her camera. She asked several very specific questions about my thoughts on the company and the role. She mentioned she would follow up, even if it was to say the position had been filled. I haven't heard anything back about the vacancy since then.
