Process
It was a pretty chaotic process. Everyone was either late or had no clue who they were interviewing. They hadn't even looked at my resume before the interview. One of them gave me a drawing and asked me to mark measurements that were wrong. It was obvious that piece of paper had been given to many other people to mark it!
