The recruiter seemed really rushed from the start, like they didn't have much time. They spent about 20 minutes talking about the company and just going over the stuff I'd already put on my application. Then, with only about 4 minutes left, they threw in two questions about how I'd handle certain situations or personality traits. It felt like I was under pressure to give good answers really fast without enough time to really think.

The interview was a really nice experience. It was about 30 mins long. It was a quick chat with the recruiter. She asked me about my past experiences and what I expected. Then I had to do a quick roleplay task where I was the rep and she was the customer, and I had to help her out.
