My interview was very short and there was no reason to have interviewed at all. Salary information is missing from AnswerLab's job posts for a reason - the amount is laughable and they surely wouldn't want clients to know. In my state, the salary would qualify for public assistance.
The interviewer was wearing a headset and I could barely hear her with my volume on full blast. I mentioned that we may have a bad connection, or perhaps her headset was an issue, but restarting the call was just too much work for her, so I ended up asking her to repeat herself multiple times...as I could not hear her. Additionally, she did not appear to have a solid grasp on the job she was interviewing me for. I'm not sure if she even knew my name.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AnswerLab
Interview
Screening call with a recruiter, then two video interviews with hiring managers. It seemed like it went well and the interviewers were pleasant but then I got a rejection the next week. I got this only after checking in with them so I'd have expected to have been ghosted otherwise. It was a canned generic rejection email, so that was irritating. There would have been a written assignment as a last step but I didn't get to that point.
