Process
The interviewer was not really interested in conducting the interview and had some superficial front-end questions to start. They didn't even take a moment to look through my resume and just proceeded to ask how to configure a particular feature and some corner-case questions that one would have barely encountered.
They were rude and impatient enough to interrupt my introduction at the three-minute mark and sounded like they were half-asleep during the interview.
Please stop asking about how to configure specific features in 2024 when the world is looking to embrace AI generation.

Your mileage may vary with other orgsSoftware Engineering Technical Leader • Current EmployeeRemoteDecember 12, 2022Pros: The company seems to be embracing new tech. Fair pay.Cons: Contractors on some teams are treated with an enormous amount of disrespect by "blue badge" employees. I was one of these "blue badge" employees and hated seeing the contractors I worked with treated badly. Think rude language, lack of respect for working hours/time off, etc. The interviewers also lied to me by omission during the interview process. The team I interviewed to join was disbanded as soon as I joined, and the work/colleagues changed as a result. Absolutely unprofessional.
