Interview
Told interviewing was a 5-step process. Had one phone screening by HR and one interview with the hiring stakeholders. Interview questions seemed different from the job description. Salary was very low for a hybrid role relative to similiar positions.
Two interviews. Very basic questions related to experience and interest. Very casual, though dealing with multiple companies made the process a bit convoluted. Interview was conducted via google meet, the first one being a one on one, and the second interview with three people.
