Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Don't apply for this company. Main reason is strictly 5 days work from office.

Has to ask multiple times to receive response. Seems engineering department isn't capable enough to decide what they actually want from candidate and what should be the outcome of questions asked.
