Coding Technical
This interview involved a Skype call where I was presented with coding questions. My screen was shared, and I interacted with about 4 or 5 employees. The task was to write compilable code within a 2-hour time limit, requiring precise function names. The interviewers' demeanor was quite rude, and they explicitly stated I couldn't ask any questions, which struck me as a major red flag. I regret not ending the call earlier given their behavior. However, the HR manager who coordinated the process was very pleasant and seemed regretful about the outcome.
