Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter online and had two phone screens.

Both phone screens were a bad experience.

The interviewer in the first screen seemed to be working on her own tasks and was not answering my clarifying questions. I felt like I was talking to a wall.

The second interviewer was the same; they kept repeating the question without clarifying it. I imagined working here and being assigned a project. When I asked for clarification, my peer or manager would just say, "Do XXX." If I asked, "Do you mean A, B, or C?" the response would be, "Just do XXX."
