Oxylabs interview questions

Interviewed for a cryptic, one-off position unrelated to the company's main profile. The first question was: "Why are you interested in web scraping?" I said I'm not really specifically interested in that. He looked genuinely puzzled: "Then why are you here?" I had to remind him of the job description, which was immediately a bit of a red flag to me. We talked about my background then. I was asked something along the lines of: "Why do your job spans keep getting shorter?" Which was not only factually incorrect, but my shortest role was at least 1 year. I wouldn't call it job hopping. Another red flag right there. Overall, the talk was pretty generic and uneventful. The interviewer did project some weird energy, but nothing too disturbing. I was declined on the grounds of not having enough "refactoring experience". Which is kind of weird. Because you see REFACTORING is normally not a distinct career specialization. It also never came up as something immediately important within the vague description of the prospective position. I imagine it was just a lame/polite brush-off. But then again, what do I know. Maybe they did require a lot of REFACTORING 🤔

It was scheduled as a 15 minute phone call with the recruiter which was a little odd to begin with. They called 30 minutes earlier than scheduled with no prior communication, didn't even apologize for it or address it. No real questions about myself or my experience, just asked me what I know about the product, my salary expectations, and they couldn't really answer any of my questions about the specifics of the role, kept saying it would be discussed with the hiring manager. Just odd all around.
