CallisonRTKL Architectural Designer interview questions

One senior person seems trying to be friendly but the other senior designer really just begin indifferent throughout the process, which really makes the process very uncomfortable and numb. They asked bunch of questions really without any tones so I feel like I was really being interviewed by robots.

Applied online and HR contacted me a few days later. I mentioned my salary range in the application. I proceeded to submit all the extra technical drawing sets they requested and then set up and interview once they seemed happy with the technical skill level. The interview was good and standard question. They then ask for references minimum of 5 references to fill out a questionnaire. After interview the HR person contacted me with a offer less than the range provided in the submitted online application. They wasted my time and my references time by interviewing me knowing they would not meet my salary range. If you interview bring up salary before wasting your references time in filling out their questionnaire.
