The interview process was pretty straightforward because they needed to hire quickly. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. I went to the office for interviews with the supervisor and department manager. They gave me a tour of the workplace and I met some of the staff. After I got the offer, I just needed to pass a drug test and then wait for the background check to clear before I was officially hired.

The interview process was brief and felt very rushed. Communication after the interview was poor, and the team wasn't clear on their specific needs. It didn't feel thorough, and it wasn't the kind of interview you could really prepare for beyond the basics.

- Can you share an example of a challenging situation you encountered in your past roles?
