Terrible experience. I believe the NYPL hired an outside consultant to conduct the preliminary interviews. The recruiter made me repeat each answer multiple times so he could paraphrase it and write it down. He would constantly interrupt me and ask me to paraphrase it for him in 3 words or less (he said he had a small area to write in). I was only asked about 3 questions total and the majority of the 30 minute interview was spent helping him transcribe my answers. He was extremely rude and condescending. I do have an in-person interview, but this experience doesn't make me excited about working for them.
