Behavioral
They asked for my availability in 2 weeks. After I provided it, they took a week to get back to me with a timeslot. They sent an interview invite, then cancelled it 2 hours later without any explanation. It was a really disrespectful way to treat candidates, which matches what I've read about their internal culture.

The interview was on-site and lasted about an hour. It was a single round with two managers. It felt pretty straightforward, honestly. I kind of wish an HR person had been involved somewhere in the process though.
