Interview
I applied directly on the DO website and heard back a few days later. The recruiter scheduled a 30 min phone interview. When she called, I got the strong sense she was rushed or this was not an interview she was prepared for. She asked one question before asking if I had any questions, her tone made the interview feel completed, when we had only spoken for barely 2 minutes. I then had to ask her if SHE had more questions because we sat in silence and felt very uncomfortable. I was disappointed in the phone screen since I've myself have performed screens and was ready for a great conversation since DO has a wonderful reputation.
Very unprofessional. Was late to the initial interview then emailed me 5 minutes into the call to reschedule for the next day, Never showed up for the new interview.
Very disrespectful and has no professional courtest.

Question 1
It was less about standard interview questions and more about making a connection. They did always ask how I was feeling. But most other questions related to learning more about some part of my experience.

Interview
The overall interview process was fantastic. The recruiter was super prompt with interview follow-ups and feedback. Liked the transparency on the job requirements and duties all along the process. They were prompt to schedule follow-up meetings with the hiring manager as well.
