Process
The recruiter was great. The hiring manager was very emotionless and rude. They never let me finish my sentences or fully answer their questions. I definitely felt rushed with everything. The hiring manager gave me only 5 minutes to answer the second question.

During the COVID-related shutdowns, the company has been especially helpful in providing the things we need to take care of ourselves first and work later.
