First, I had a phone conversation with the recruiter to understand my current and previous work experience. I was then scheduled for a 30-minute technical interview with someone on the hiring team. The questions were hard-coded, technical questions related to the product I was being hired for. Unfortunately, I did not have experience in that domain. After 15 minutes, I was told that a recruiter would contact me with the results, and I knew the results.
I was upset that, although the recruiter knew I had no experience, I was pushed to interview with a team where I wouldn't fit in. It was a waste of my time.
The questions focused more on security.
