Applied for the position through LinkedIn and got a call from the Sr. Engineer about 5 months later.

I asked him what the position was about, and he actually laughed at me for not remembering 10 lines of the job description.

Nevertheless, I went for an interview the next day.

It lasted about 30 minutes.

Four guys casually asked general questions, with one guy walking in even more casually in between the interview and asking a technical question, for which I gave the correct answer. He gave me a sarcastic smile and walked out.

The questions were mostly: "Can you do lab work?" "Have you handled some particular XX tool earlier?" etc., which were not even mentioned remotely in the job description.

Basically, I think they copy-pasted a template of a job description for some other job and posted it.

The lazy attitude of the people was quite evident in the interview.

For technical questions, I answered some correctly and did not remember some answers, telling them the same since I had very little time to prepare for it.

I don't understand the concept of expecting people to know about the exact tools they use and have worked on the exact software they have.

I told them I had experience working on similar tools and that I can learn quickly, and they had a "whatever" expression.

A disaster of an interview.

Where do you see yourself 4 years from now?
