Process
I applied online, and four days later, an HR representative contacted me. They made a mistake with the time zone conversion, affecting not only the hour but also the date. The interview lasted about ten minutes. The interviewer asked me some questions, such as "tell me about yourself" and "why Quora." They then asked if I was a user of Quora. The HR representative was not friendly.
Two days later, I received an email stating, "We do not have an appropriate position for you at this time."
