A hiring manager interview was set up as a first step after chatting with the recruiter.

Three people joined the call and proceeded to ask questions without introducing themselves or even turning their cameras on.

The interview questions focused on technical implementation, with some touching on execution. Nothing was asked about leadership, strategy, partnerships, or people management, which are areas that are more critical competencies at a role like this. Interviewers were argumentative on common and industry-wide adopted SDLC models and had a combative attitude throughout the interview.
