These interviews are short, usually less than 30 minutes and may be as short as 10 minutes.

Is a 10 minute phone interview bad?

A 10 minute interview by a screener is not unusual (they just need to ascertain some check list items), but if you’d been talking to a hiring manager instead, I would say 10 minutes is a bad sign.
