I was pre-screened by the recruiter, which was a surprise to me when they jumped right into questions.

The recruiter seemed unhappy to be on the call and would cut me off. They gave me a low estimate for my level and offer TC, and wouldn't answer my questions about the positions until I passed the phone screen.

The first interviewer had sound issues and was uncontrollably giggling due to how my voice sounded on their end. They kept reminding me we were running late, even though their own setup was to blame. Ironically, I finished this interview 15 minutes early.

I removed myself from consideration before I heard back about how I did on the phone screen.
