When I got there, the door was locked and it took a while to get someone to open it. After that, I was given a list of questions to prepare for briefly before starting. The questions seemed straightforward, but I imagine the answers could be rated subjectively.

Behavioral Technical
Got a call from a new supervisor for a job I applied for. Since I just started a new job, I got an after-hours interview about a week later. It was a formal interview with written questions, and the interviewer just wrote down my answers instead of talking. I asked about the work and business processes, but didn't get much info. The interview was cut short after less than an hour because the interviewer got a call. I didn't see any projects, learn about workload, or meet the team. I got a call the next day showing interest, and more calls over a few weeks for references. A verbal offer came about 3.5 weeks after the interview, but no written one. I declined the low offer and countered. They declined my counter and repeated the original offer with a take-it-or-leave-it deadline.
