Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter 2 weeks after I submitted my application online. I set up a quick call with HR and the hiring manager for the same week. A couple hours after my phone interview I got an email asking me to come in for an in-person interview the following week.
My in-person interview went very well, the interviewers seemed passionate about their jobs and were looking for someone who could take ownership. They harped on the issue that I lived out of state, though I made it very clear I would relocate for the position. They also stressed a lot of experience with Excel is necessary for the job. I felt like the interview was very misleading, as I had a great interview but have not heard anything but radio silence from them for the past 1.5 months.

Interview
I was applying for Product Specialist in Newark, NJ. My interview was in Dec 2020. First there was a quick HR interview which I found to be simple and an audio-only phone call. After a few days, I was invited to a video interview with three employees/executives. First, they gave an excel test, then questions which were mixed behavioral and background. I did fine and was invited to a phone call, audio only, with someone else. That person seemed to harp on about certain concerns. He gave concerns about millennials. He said this position would require meeting whatever volume/pace they were expecting in order to stay past a few months, that they have let go of others for this, and it would require taking a long term approach to learning. I was not involved in the process from there.

Question 1
