Description
After applying via LinkedIn, I received an email from an Alfonso J. Anderson that I needed to schedule an interview through Microsoft Teams with Mr. Thomas Fabroni. I followed the link and got an immediate response via messaging on that platform. The conversation that followed seemed impersonal and staged. The interview started right then, with some generic questions, one of which concerning which bank I used. I was told that the interview response would continue at 8:30 am the following morning. I was immediately offered a job and told I needed to print out and fill out some forms. The welcome letter had grammatical errors in it and was signed off as "In Success, Head Welcome Board Note". The second document needed information from me including date of birth and driver's license information. I was told to take a picture of these, once filled out, and post it on the messaging chat. I did not do so.
