Can you work long hours? I said sure, when there is a project going on, overtime on occasion is not a problem. I was told it's not overtime. I asked what exactly do you consider "long hours". Coming in at 8am and staying until at least 8:30pm. Everyday. Another repeated question was, "What is the lowest salary you can accept?" In my head I was thinking, $80k wouldn't be enough... I was also asked how I handle working for someone who is difficult and has a temper? Red flag. There is a reason this is being asked. Read all these reviews and RUN!!!
