Behavioral
It was a half hour phone call. Their Google Meet wasn't working and they didn't try to fix it. They were not welcoming and didn't give any info about the job, the company, or the team. It felt like a fake interview to hit a number. They didn't seem interested in me at all. I later found out I didn't get the job because I lacked a specific skill they never mentioned was a requirement.
