Process
Awful, awful, awful. They don't know what they're doing. Each interviewer stares at their computer instead of engaging with you.
They also have new hires interviewing who have no idea how to pitch or even talk about the company in a knowledgeable way.
Questions
They all ask the same question over and over.
