The HR person who screened me went on an unhinged rant about politics and ICE, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable. It's unprofessional to bring up personal opinions in a job interview and it left a bad taste in my mouth.
I also received a HackerRank test where answered all multiple choice questions correctly and had all test cases (including hidden cases) passing 100%. However, I was rejected the next day without any explanation. It's clear that they are not actually hiring for the position and are wasting people's time and effort.

One HR round
One Technical Behavioral round
One Tech round
Everyone I spoke to was knowledgeable, respectful, and thorough. The tech behav focused mostly on handling interpersonal scenarios among coworkers that can be caused due to a difference (in approach etc).
Technical rd was purely based on what tech Ive worked with, and to elaborate on it deeply. (Pros/cons, concepts within the tech, etc)

Question 1
Describe how you would handle a difference in approach from your coworker.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Pluribus Digital (Fairfax, VA) in Feb 2023

Interviewers were nice, asked mostly about technical skills and my work history. Prior to this, they gave out a technical assessment. It mostly asked about SQL if I recall correctly.
