After going through the screening interview, I met with the hiring manager who did not review the resume prior to the interview. Interviewer seemed overworked and under a lot of stress. Questions were standard but never asked a follow up question to an answer.

Question 1
They asked a few questions about collaborating with others and how others would describe me. Having accepted the role, it became clear that a previous employee in a similar role was very challenging to work with and didn't have great relationships with colleagues, so beyond my work experience, they asked questions to ensure I would be collaborative and invite others' opinions.
