Has anyone had an interview where the interviewer only asks 1-2 questions (with one of them being “tell me about yourself?”). The first round was the same and I made it through, so don’t think (cont.)

it’s that they aren’t interested. It almost comes off as if they are disorganized or aren’t sure what they’re looking for in a candidate. They spend the majority of the time telling me about the role and asking if I have additional questions about it, not interviewing me. Any thoughts?

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company. They want to offer me a contractor role instead. Does anyone here know if that is the case? I haven't heard anything as they seem be on wellness week. Thanks for any guidance :)
