Process
Came into WLOO and interviewed with several people for 6 hours. Apparently, I was interviewed for multiple positions. Some interviewers were professional; others seemed to be out of it. I was asked coding questions and questions about what I did in previous jobs. The interview was in shabby rooms with the worst lighting.
