After the team joined the call, the manager told me to quickly introduce myself as they didn’t have much time (the interview ended up being about 50 mins long). Hence I kept my intro my concise, and was met with silence. The team seemed relatively uninterested, and asked me a few questions in a direct manner (likely be due to the nature of their work), interrupting me midway through while I was answering. The experience is not universal and could just be this team.

Straightforward and sincere. Honest about upcoming difficulty and trying hard to talk the hardships to be expected. Looks like they are trying to find the roles that are fit to their values . It is a good thing
