Technical Behavioral

Applied for the job on LinkedIn and got contacted by a recruiter. He set up an online interview with a junior and a senior developer. The senior dev was late and had a bad attitude, low mic volume, and a strong accent which was hard to understand. He was rude and impatient. After the interview, the recruiter and devs promised feedback but never heard back.
