Software Development Engineer (SDE) Intern Interview Experience

Process

I applied online. The process took 4 months.

American citizens getting interviewed by H1B interviewers, who plan to reject you before the interview even begins. Whether you believe it or not. The lady had a terrible attitude right off the bat. No icebreakers, nothing, jumps straight to coding, and sends a link to open the coding problem, and obviously I move my eyes in the process. The link was not even open yet and she is going off on me for "moving my eyes." Like yes, I am gonna move my eyes, I need to open zoom chat, click the link you sent me, and then turn on dark mode because light mode just flashed my eyes. Very rude interviewers, awful experience. US citizens being interviewed by H1B interviewers should not be a thing.
