Process

Interview process was an absolute joke. Interviewer was already discriminating against me because I was a new grad.

First thing she told me despite already passing the technical screen was if I even felt comfortable doing the interview since I was a new grad and this interview is going to be very mid-level focused, and when I would go on to get the question right she would make up illogical statements like "this is not the expectation we are looking for as 'mid-level'" or "I wanted you to answer it using an example from your experience," or would just throw rapid-fire questions at me without even letting me finish my answer to the last question.
