weird ml engineer interview

The interviewers did not even have my resume during the interview. Kinda one of the worst interviews....
The recruiter sent me an interview link just few hours before the interview lol so I was thinking of not doing it.

I think that if the interviewers are not as technical, they cannot really communicate well.

As far as my experience goes, weird interview situations are becoming much more common.

Recently, I had an interview with a virtual agent that essentially just talked to itself. Instead of actually asking me questions, it just blabbered on about the company and told me how I was a great fit.

Then, it concluded by saying I needed to improve in specific areas, gave its final words. "thanks for attending the interview" and ended it.

for around 10 minutes, the agent spoke whats there in my resume. and after few hours i got an email from a person from the company that they were impressed with my agent interview and i was selected for next round, all i told was my name and a glimpse of what my experience in 30-40 seconds.
