Process
I was contacted by a recruiter and scheduled a call with the hiring manager. He kept his camera off for the entire hour, while mine was on. It was quite unusual to speak with him.
He deep-dived into my experience and repeatedly asked if I had experience with deep databases or Oracle. At the end of the interview, he stated he would like to move forward with the next steps. Following this, I received a sample rejection email.
It is considered rude to keep your camera off, especially when the hiring manager is conducting the interview.
