Candidate-reported interview process

It was okay. There were a series of behavioral rounds asking about my past projects, and a pop-quiz style Q&A. He asked about my background and knowledge of C++. I also talked about a mobile robotics project I worked on.

Had a relaxed initial conversation with some software engineers about potential projects and my past experience. The whole process went well and was fun.

The interviewer was super rude. They hit me with a ton of technical questions, and honestly, the interviewer seemed to lose track of the interview, asking random technical questions.
