Logicworks interview questions

Their in-house recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn. My first call was with the recruiter to go over high-level details of what the position entailed. I was scheduled for an initial video interview with the department manager. It was a typical 45-minute interview containing questions related to the roles/responsibilities of the ASE, then a substantial section devoted to technical scenario questions. The next day, I received an email from the recruiter with very detailed (3-4 substantial paragraphs) feedback on the manager's observations. The manager decided that I was not qualified enough for the position, but said I was qualified for a lower position in a different department (managed services). I'm trying to get out of the managed services/support role and get into design & implementation, so I turned down the offer to continue to interview for the managed services engineer role. In the past, I've experienced (both first-hand and heard from colleagues) companies will hire you for a lower role (i.e. lower pay), then pigeonhole you into that role or advancement track, often taking advantage of skills that are needed for the original, higher position while providing absolutely no guidance or support in how to ultimately transition into the position you wanted in the first place. It's a job seeker's market right now, so I'm not going to allow myself to be pigeonholed yet again in my career. There are plenty of other interested organizations with whom I can grow my career the way I want to grow my career.

At first, I was hearing from this company and the recruiter constantly about more people to interview with. Then I was told I was the furtherest along in the process and would have to wait until they interviewed other people. I never heard from them again- which was especially interesting because as soon as I had one interview I was emailed a survey about the candidate process. A few things really bothered me about this whole process, beyond being ghosted. I asked early on about the benefits package and they were extremely tight-lipped. This is a dealbreaker for me. If the health insurance isn’t good, I’m not even going to be interested in moving forward. Secondly, this was a remote position, but once an executive found out I was only a “short 90 minute train ride each way” from the NYC office, it was encouraged I come in. And guess what? They hired someone in Texas.
