I interviewed at Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Orlando, FL)
Interview
The head of the group was discharged Air Force Officer. Very inappropriate during interview. I do not understand why they can do whatever they want at the workplace. And they have a big head just because they are in federal funded agency. I wish never applied in this department.

Interview
Only one interview (was not asked for 2nd interview). It was over MS Teams, but this was in early 2021 so not sure how they are doing things now. They mostly asked questions that were directly correlated with the "required knowledge/skills/abilities" section from the job posting.
