Process
Two interviews were conducted.
The first focused on my work experience. The second involved specific questions about how I had handled past work situations.
The interviewer did not seem very interested in my answers, leading me to believe he was fulfilling an obligation. It would have been preferable if they had simply declined my application, saving me a two-week wait for the interview.
I received a generic email stating that my application would not proceed and that feedback would not be provided. It was a complete waste of time.
