Candidate-reported interview process

Started with a recruiter screening call, which was supposed to be 30 minutes. The recruiter actually canceled my first scheduled call at the very last minute, showing really poor scheduling and time management skills.

The phone interview involved the hiring manager asking fundamental questions about OOP. Unexpectedly, questions about multithreading and networking also came up. The interview concluded with a coding challenge to reverse a linked list.

It was a pretty standard interview process, nothing too out of the ordinary. I met with a variety of people and was asked the usual kinds of questions. There were a few hiccups where interviewers weren't aware they were scheduled for a 1:1, leading to some rescheduling for the next day.
