Interview
The process was a bit odd. I got called for a technical interview without any prescreening. Was never asked anything about my compensation expectation. The technical interview was very basic and lasted only twenty minutes out of the entire hour. Immediately after that I noticed that the position was closed. I believe the position was not opened with the intent to hire. Did not expect such unprofessional behavior from such a big organization
