After initial phone interview with the recruiter I had an interview with a hiring manager. We hit it off and I thought that they asked fair questions and I responded to the best of my ability. Interviewer asked if I knew the "STAR" method for answering questions (situation, task, action, result) which I didn't at the time, and asked for my responses to be in that format, which I then did to the best of my ability. About 20 minutes after that call, the same recruiter called me and said that the hiring manager wanted to meet again so I had a chance to prepare my answers in the STAR format, in addition to wanting a better internet connection because mine was apparently spotty, which the manager never mentioned. Big red flag. After the second hiring manager interview that I really prepared for, I heard back from them saying that I wasn't considered any longer. Reasons were: "needs more practice with the STAR method", even though my answers were perfectly organized and the manager had even said that it was better AND mentioned that I was an "ideal candidate". The biggest red flag was that that email was addressed to a different person, so I wasn't sure if it was intended for me so I had to reach back out when I learned that it was for me, but just addressed to someone completely different. After reflecting on this process and reading all of the reviews here, I am so happy it didn't work out. Long hours and too many red flags in the hiring process definitely drew me away.

Quick nice and straightforward, HR talked about the wonderful weather first to help me relax. The time was a conflict with hospital appointment, HR is willing to change another time.
