Process
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter via email.
The only time available to set up an introductory call was between 2 AM and 5 AM in my timezone.
The recruiter seemed uninterested throughout our conversation. I asked about the salary range for the position and was told they do not discuss salary until an offer is extended.
