Interview
The interview selection process was rather haphazard, lacking a discernible and structured approach. It seemed that candidates were chosen without a well-defined set of qualifications or criteria. Furthermore, the interview questions were surprisingly straightforward and didn't adequately assess the depth of a candidate's knowledge or skills, possibly leading to candidates being underutilized or not fully evaluated.
