Initial communications were over the phone. Hiring process required no in-person interview and was as simple as providing work over email to show your ability. Getting your name correct and getting paid through this company is a huge ordeal. If they screw up, it's your fault, not theirs. The work place is usually your home, not in office.
You are never invited to the office or work place. You never meet your employers and they expect big things out of you, per how you word your emails.
