Recruiter contacted me for a job penetration testing IoT/SCADA embedded systems. Job required knowledge of C and Python/Ruby. No problem!
An interviewer then called to screen me and spent 50 minutes asking Java development questions. He got extremely frustrated that I didn't know Java. Java is not on my resume, nor did the job requisition ask for it. It later turned out that he didn't even work on the team I was interviewing for.
Colossal waste of time, and quite unprofessional on Amazon's part.
First meeting with recruiter collected all information. then meeting scheduled with Hiring Manager: Asked questions from the job description but it was vague in which domain they were looking for.
Interview questions [1]
