Interview
Teams screening with recruiter, then teams meeting with manager, and clearance verification after that. Interviews are usually scheduled very fast and can sometimes be the same day the recruiter contacts you.

How have you handled conflict at work in the past?
I applied online. I interviewed at Ignite Digital Services (Chesapeake, VA) in Aug 2023
Interview
Had a brief phone screen with a recruiter which went well, then interviewed with two hiring managers. Then had a Microsoft Teams interview with two people, one had her camera over and the other was breaking up. Within about three minutes, it was clear I was only being interviewed as a formality. When I asked for details regarding the job roles, I wasn't given any clear indication of the role, what my job would be, or what technologies I'd use. When I asked about recent projects the company worked on, I was told: "you really got me on that one." I was given zero feedback or further questions on my work experience or background, I'm unsure if they even read my resume. I asked multiple insightful questions about the company's internal culture and was not given a response. At one point, I was asked essentially the same question back to back. The one interviewing me kept not understanding basic questions about the role. When I asked how the organization would support my personal growth, I was told "We'll give you a raise if you're deserving." Moreover, the interview ended abruptly after twenty minutes of the scheduled forty. I took me a few minutes after the interview finished to process how awful it was and how unprofessional they were. Avoid this employer!
