Cottage interview questions

Interview was with the Software Engineering Lead at Cottage. Definitely a bit of a language/culture barrier making the whole call a bit awkward. It was brought up that they are currently using contractors and would like to fill out the team with FTEs. After our introductions were complete we jumped right into a rather dogmatic set of questions which gave the impression that this lead has experience hiring contractors but not FTEs. After asking how many years of experience I have in each language/skill it became clear that this would not be a fit culturally speaking since the interviewer refused to accept open-source experience with node.js as "professional" experience and mentioned that I would fall short of their 3 years of required experience with node.js even though I have 10+ years developing node modules in an open-source setting.
