Siemens System Engineer interview questions

A phone screen then in person interview with hiring manager and a coworker. During the phone screen I asked if they were looking internally and he said no but when I asked the hiring manager that same question he said they were. I am tired of companies only interviewing women to tick your EOE checklist. Also as soon as I sat down for the interview the Hiring Manager and coworker both took off their masks and put me in an uncomfortable position and at the end of the interview said he had given a virtual interview just the other day.... the entire thing was unstructured and I ended up asking more questions than them. If I could set the interview difficulty to pointless I would.

Hiring manager and employers asked me some questions to get a better understanding of how my background and work experience relate to the position they are looking to fill
