Process
I was contacted through a recruiter and had an initial phone screen.
An HR person told me about the interview process. However, because my schedule did not align with their immediate timeline (they said they needed someone onsite within a week), they were hesitant to offer me an interview.
They did eventually grant me a phone screen, but the interviewer called quite late, and I was unable to complete the question.
