The interviewers showed little respect and did not seem friendly.

As for the content of the interview, it was much more like a school exam than an actual interview. I was shocked, as I haven't encountered an interview like this before and genuinely thought a company like Agoda would know better.

They asked ridiculously theoretical questions, such as "What does this acronym stand for?"

I have solid experience in my field and role, yet I've never needed to know any of those. I performed well on the coding portion of the interview but was rejected because I couldn't answer these theoretical questions.

This experience suggests what engineering at Agoda might be like.
