DexCare Software Engineer interview questions

On July 8th a dexcare recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn telling me about the role and asked if I was interested. It included a survey to get a better understanding of my tech background and skillset. I thought it looked cool so I filled the survey out and sent it out to them. Want to note that the first question was: “Many of our positions allow for remote work, some are based in Seattle, WA. In what city and state do you currently live?” And my answer was: "I’m in Seattle WA, but require a fully remote position (open to come to the office on occasion)" They said it looked good and they would pass my info along to their manager. By July 14th I hadn’t heard back, so I followed up and they said they passed my resume on to their manager and that they are waiting to hear from them on the next step. That was the last I heard from anyone until today (July 26th) when I got an unannounced call from the recruiter’s manager as I was feeding my cat. They said it was informal, so I was just thinking it would be a quick call to schedule another interview or something. Then the person started asking screener questions, salary expectations etc. I was in no way prepared for those kinds of questions since I hadn’t looked at the job posting in about 18 days and am in the pipeline for a few other opportunities. Have a lot going on beyond that. The recruiter also seemed to be a little uniformed on some of the technical aspects of the role as well. Normally that isn’t a big deal/isn’t expected from a recruiter, but they made some remarks about my technical experience vs the role that were weird and made little sense. Then I was asked if I am okay with a hybrid work situation where I would be required to come in to work 2-3 days a week. I told them that I wouldn’t be a good fit as I require a fully remote position (as stated in the survey). They said they would double check with the hiring manager and would get back to me, but it seems unlikely. At this point I’m not interested even if the option to work fully remote is available. All in all I think was very unorganized from a recruiting standpoint. I’m not a fan of on the spot interviews (even if a screener call), especially if it’s been 2 & 1/2 weeks since I’ve last looked at the job posting. The typical email to schedule an initial call would have been so much better so I would have had a chance to re-familarize myself for the role and prepare for any questions. Beyond that they had all the info with my resume and survey to decide if I’m a good fit or not (which I’m apparently not due to their remote policy). Kind of just wastes everyone's time.

Some guy with a really off-putting smile interviewed me with some bizarre, irrelevant questions and continuously cut me off during my answers. Talked more about his experience than I talked about mine. Strange process for this company!
