Interview
I was contacted by the recruiter at StarTech on Feb 17, 2016 at 6:24pm(EST). She emailed me to schedule an interview on Feb 22, 2016 at 11am and I confirmed it. on Feb 19, 2016 she emailed me again. This was her email: "Unfortunately I will need to cancel our call next week. We have moved two candidates to next stages in the process. Should we need to explore additional candidates, I would be back in touch". and this was my reply: "Thank you for your suggestion but I would not work in a company that disrespects me and the time I spent to prepare for the interview. Good luck". What a hiring process and what a recruiter.

Interview
Very behavioral interview, mainly testing skills such as teamwork and collaboration. I would say that nothing out of the norm. They ask about SQL, Excel, Access and etc analytical tools. Very basic question too. Not too technical.
