the interviewer was friendly, and the conversation was pretty informal, like a casual chat. we chatted about some random things. she actually worked in a totally different department at the company, and wasn't even directly involved in this role. honestly, besides being ready for the questions, I think a big reason I got the offer was just that we clicked and had a good rapport, lots of laughs and stuff.

Behavioral Technical
My recruiter experience was poor, they barely responded and scheduled me with the wrong team. The interview itself was bad, the interviewer was rude and would rephrase my own answers back to me. They seemed disinterested and unprofessional. I would not work for this company given how they treated me, even if I was speaking to a manager.

- Can you tell me about yourself?
