I had an initial phone chat that was supposed to be 30 minutes with someone in a similar job. The first 20 minutes, she just talked about herself and her own experience. The questions she asked me were really vague and I honestly think she had already decided I didn't have the experience they needed, she actually told me that. I was hoping for a chance to show what I'd done in my current job that made me a good fit for a CS role. It was an okay talk overall, but the interviewing part could have been way better. I left feeling like this wasn't a place I'd want to work because of some things she said, but I was still willing to learn more. It was disappointing to hear nothing back after a few weeks, even after following up several times. For sure, there's room for improvement in how they handle recruiting and interviews.

Behavioral Technical Other
The interview process started off pretty impersonal. I had to download their software and use this old-looking app for a text chat. I wasn't sure if I was talking to a bot at first since there was no camera. It later turned into an audio interview where they asked about my motivation for tutoring there, my prior experience, and a hypothetical situation about helping a student outline procedures. The question itself was strange, but I answered it. I was unimpressed with the limited screen share and the terrible whiteboard. Since I couldn't contact students directly and the job required having the app open with no guaranteed student inquiries, I decided it wasn't a good fit and withdrew my application the next day.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview was online in their classroom. A microphone was necessary, but a camera was not. I spoke with the interviewer for about 15-20 minutes about the company's background and purpose, and how to use their online classroom. Then, we switched to text for the remainder of the interview. I had to type responses to about four questions about my experience and problem-solving. My questions were also asked and answered via text. The whole interview lasted about an hour.
