The hr was nice on the phone and scheduled a zoom meeting for me with the team leader, he was late by 15 minutes. When he arrived, he gave me one question without asking about myself or discussing the position or company. The question was hard (graph theory + python) and I solved it correctly in about 25 minutes while explaining it. I used a BFS algorithm and wrote clean code. About ten minutes before the meeting ended, he mentioned he had another meeting and asked me to finish the question and send it. I agreed, asking for 10 minutes to finalize the code and ensure it passed the unit tests on a LeetCode-like platform. While I was finishing up, within 10 minutes, and about to submit my answer after passing all tests, I received an email from HR stating I wasn't a good fit and they were moving on with other candidates. They didn't even let me send my code, wasting my entire hour with this interview and team leader.
