The Answer Company interview questions

Got a pre-screening phone interview with an HR person. She wasn't particularly nice or interested in me as a potential colleague. The interview was rushed. It felt like I was supposed to answer the questions very quickly, no time to think. No emotion whatsoever. Almost mechanical voice reading questions from paper. I understand there are dozens of candidates, but a little human touch would be much appreciated. Never heard back from them after the interview.

First I had a phone interview with the HR, which was pretty standard. Then the marketing director called me for a second phone interview. That was the weirdest call ever... they didn’t seem interested in asking questions (isn’t that what interviews are for?) and just kep silent while I tried to keep the conversation going - with no success. When I asked about the office culture, they said everyone is excited, “but not too excited because it’s a job, there’s an acceptable level of excitement”. Like... ok.
